When: every two months.

Time: 18:00 (local time).

In this cooking marathon, we gather to cook together, share our favorite recipes and discuss the secrets of creating coziness through food. Each participant has the opportunity to showcase her recipe, tell its story, and share how the process adds coziness to her home.

How it will go down:

1. Opening Statement:

At the beginning of the marathon, we welcome all participants and then introduce the theme of the month or season (e.g. winter dinners, summer desserts, etc.). We’ll also tell you how you can prepare, what foods to get for the recipe, and what tools you’ll need.

2. Preparation and Cooking (online and offline):

• Online: Participants can connect and cook their meals in real time. Each takes turns sharing her recipe, talking about the process, cooking secrets, and why the recipe is important to her family or home. It is important that participants are able to show how their dish is prepared by talking about the details.
• Offline: If the meeting takes place in real life, we gather in a cozy place (such as the kitchen of a home or a rented space) where each participant prepares her dish and shares the process with others.

3. Discussion of cooking secrets:

After all the dishes are cooked (or while cooking), we discuss each recipe. We share what we love about the dish, what cooking secrets we have, how to add more comfort and warmth to the meal, and how to cook with love.

4. Collecting recipes for an online book:

At the end of the event, all participants will be able to share their recipes with the rest of the group. We will collect the recipes into our shared online book, which will be downloadable, and updated with each new marathon.

We will thank the participants for participating and discuss which recipe was a discovery for whom. We will also share the results of our marathon – photos, recipes and impressions. We will remind you that the next marathon will be in two months and choose a theme for the next culinary event.

When: every first Sunday of the month.

Time: 18:00 (local time).

Our book club is a space for all lovers of literature, where we choose a book to read together and then gather in an online meeting to discuss it. Each meeting is an opportunity to share our thoughts, perspectives on the work, and sort through the ideas the book raises about life, family, and home. It’s not just a reading, but a real conversation about how books affect our inner world.

How it will go:

1. Book Selection:

At the beginning of the month, we announce what book we will be reading that month. It can be a classic of literature, a contemporary work, or a book that inspires deep thought. We always try to choose works that bring up important and relevant topics about life, relationships, and the comfort of home.

2. Book Reading:

Participants have an entire month to read a book. We recommend setting aside time for reading and preparation so that on the day of the meeting everyone can share their thoughts on what they have read.

3. Book Discussion:

We gather to discuss the book. The discussion is not limited to the plot, but also to the deep questions the book raises. For example:

• How does this book relate to our lives?
• What ideas about family and home does it reveal?
• What emotions and thoughts does it evoke?
• What moments from the book are most inspiring?

4. Exchange of opinions:

Each participant can share what they remembered most, what was helpful or inspiring about the work they read. This is a space for open and honest discussion where every voice counts.

5. Conclusion and announcement of the next book:

At the end of the meeting, we summarize the discussion, highlighting the key ideas and thoughts we took away from the book. We then announce the book for next month and invite everyone to the next reading.
