Con Amor y Collage
Saturday, February 28th | 5:00PM-8:00 PM
Book Haven Books x Marimba Cafe x Massiel Alfonso x Junk Society
Event Description
We're flipping the script on love this month because the most important relationship you'll ever have is with yourself.
Join us for an evening that celebrates YOU through connection, creativity, and honest self-reflection. We're blending the joy of sharing beloved books, good food and even better community, the power of intentional writing, and of course the freedom of creative self-expression into one transformative experience.
What to Expect:
5:00-6:00 PM | Gather & Connect
Arrive to delicious bites and drinks from Marimba Cafe as we settle in. Bring one book that changed you, challenged you, or simply brought you joy. Something you can't stop thinking about. We'll "speed date" our books: you'll have 2 minutes to convince someone why YOUR book deserves a spot on their nightstand. It's playful, it's passionate, and yes, someone might just buy the book you're raving about! Browse a curated selection of books, journals, totes, and candles from Book Haven Books and Massiel Alfonso while you mingle.
6:00-7:00 PM | Writing Workshop with Massiel Alfonso
Through guided prompts, we'll explore what it means to love ourselves not in a hustle-culture "self-care Sunday" way, but in a deep, honest, selfish-in-the-best-way kind of way.
7:00-8:00 PM | Self-Portrait Collaging with Junk Society
How do you see yourself? Using paper cutouts, magazine clippings, textures, and colors, we'll create Picasso-inspired abstract self-portraits that capture our inner landscape. No art experience needed.
What to Bring:
A book you love (to share/speed date)
Ticket Includes:
*A signature drink from Marimba Café
*10% off your Book Haven Books purchase
*All the materials you’ll need for both the writing workshop and self-portrait collage session
Plus:
Browse a curated selection of books, journals, totes, collage kits, and other feel-good merch from Book Haven Books, Massiel Alfonso, and Junk Society. Perfect for gifting or grounding your own rituals.
