FREE Silent Tea + Book Club: May 1st
FREE Silent Tea + Book Club: May 1st
⭐️ FREE TEA EVENT ⭐️
Our first Silent Tea on March 5th, and second (April 2nd) was well received so we’re doing it again.
Info:
We’ve offering a free tea and silent reading event at the Art studio of Tim Kime at The Monroe Street Arts Walk in Brookland. He has generously given his space for us to gather.
Origin:
Stumbled upon a post last year about an accidental silent book club and thought: “What a great idea!” I’ve been plotting since last November to figure out a space to host this, and casually mentioned it to Tim Kime. He immediately offered his eclectic studio space without hesitation!
Why?
Given that many people have lost their jobs or are just feeling anxiety, the first ever Silent Tea Club is open to anyone who wants to come by to be with others and read a book silently without distraction or the pressure to talk. In fact, there is no talking at this event!
Guidelines:
1. It’s 100% silent. Think of it like the Quiet Car on Amtrak or a library. That means no talking, venting, sharing, or chit chat so that others aren’t disturbed. 🤐
2. No technology please. This is an analogue event. No laptops. No cell phones. No iPads. No texting or messaging. Nada. If you can’t be without your device or technology for 90min for whatever reason, it’s ok, but this may not be your cup of tea. So please know that all phones are off. No pings either. 📵
3. We love kids, but this is for adults only.🙏🏻
4. We may have some very light background music, but we’ll test that out to see if it’s a distraction. 🎼
5. Bring a book, journal, knitting and we’ll provide the tea for you to drink as you enjoy the peace of quiet. 📙
