Welcome to The Art of Drinking Wine, a guided blind tasting designed to help you explore wine in a whole new way.

We’ll start with a short Wine 101, covering the basics of how to evaluate wine like a pro. From there, we’ll move into a blind tasting of six wines — three whites and three reds — where the labels stay hidden and your senses take the lead.

Together we’ll explore what to look for in a glass, from color and aroma to acidity, body, and flavor, while learning how different characteristics shape the personality of each wine.

This two-hour interactive tasting is relaxed, educational, and a little playful. Expect to taste, discuss, compare notes, and maybe even surprise yourself with what you discover when the bottle isn’t telling the story.

Astro-Connections is a low-pressure evening of cosmic curiosity and human connection—no algorithms, just astrology. Whether you're seeking friendship, a fascinating conversation, or something more, you'll map your chart, explore compatibility with fellow star-curious humans and let the planets guide the conversation. Come as you are, leave with new connections and a deeper understanding of yourself.

In-depth event description: 

 6:00 PM – Arrival & Check-In
Grab your name tag (with color-coded stickers to indicate your relationship context: open to friendship or open to romantic connection), a clear plastic astrological chart template, and a dry-erase marker. Draw your birth chart's planetary and zodiacal placements on the template. 

 6:30 PM – The Cosmic Workshop (20 minutes)
Your astrologer hosts will guide you through:

• The key players in your chart for connection (Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, and Rising)

• How to use your chart template to visualize your placements

• A quick-reference compatibility guide you'll use during your conversations

• What to look for when overlaying charts with a potential connection

 6:50 PM – The Connections Begin 
You'll rotate through a series of 8-minute conversations with a diverse mix of fascinating humans. At each table:

• Overlay your clear chart templates

• Use your compatibility guide to spot interesting connections. Take notes so you remember your favorite matches' names. 

• Let the planets spark your conversation

 9:00 PM – Event Concludes
Use the QR code to enter your connections on an online form. Tomorrow, you'll get an email letting you know who you matched with for friendship.

FAQ

Do I need to know anything about astrology beforehand?
Not a thing! The workshop is designed for absolute beginners. If you know your Sun sign, you're ahead of the game. If you don't, we'll still get you sorted.

What do I need to bring?
It's recommended to download an astrology app (I recommend CHANI or CO-STAR) beforehand to create your astrological chart. You will copy this onto a physical piece of paper at the event. 

I don't know my birth time. Can I still participate?
Absolutely. While a birth time gives your Rising sign and house placements (which add depth), you can still fully participate with just your birth date. 

I'm not single. Is this event for me?
Yes! We've designed this specifically to include humans of all relationship orientations. The colored name tag system will help you signal your context—whether you're just seeking friendship or open to romantic connection.

Will I be forced to talk to people I'm not interested in?
The rotations are short—just 8 minutes. Think of it as a series of fascinating micro-conversations. You might not click with everyone, and that's completely fine. You'll learn something about yourself (and astrology) from each interaction.

I'm shy/skeptical/terrified of speed dating. Should I still come?
Yes. The astrology gives you something concrete to talk about (even if it's just talking about how much you hate astrology), which takes the pressure off small talk. 

Is this LGBTQ+ friendly?
Emphatically yes. All genders, all orientations, all expressions welcome. Our only rule is respect.

Onaytonie creates pieces using various media, deeply influenced by quotes, poetry, black culture, and the small details of everyday life. Art compels her to look beyond the obvious, to immerse in mental silence, and to discover a deeper mindfulness of creativity.

Join us for a Craft Exchange where creativity gets a second life. Swap what you’re not using for something new-to-you and keep beautiful supplies out of the landfill. Sustainable, resourceful, and way more fun than a junk drawer purge.

♻️ How it works:
• Bring gently used craft supplies
• Browse + trade with fellow makers
• Discover your next project

After the swap, stay and craft with your new treasures.
