Join Hot Potato Hearts in releasing & manifesting love through art & fire
About this Event

Lot'sa is excited to welcome back Hot Potato Hearts to host a heart-themed crafting meetup, aka Hot Potato HeARTS, in our space. Join us in releasing & manifesting our desires by creating art & setting some of it on fire.

February is the month of love. Love is a beautiful, magical thing & can embody itself in many ways. There's romantic love, platonic love, familiar love & self love — and unfortunately not all love, or aspects of love, are things we want our heart to hold on to.

At this event, you'll create paper art pieces that represent what you want to relieve yourself from (i.e. an old relationship, toxic friendships, negative self talk or societal expectation). You'll also create a piece that manifests new love into your life (i.e. a more fulfilling bedroom life, solo dates, vacation with friends, or higher self confidence). At the end of the night, we'll all gather on the patio & release the burdens on our hearts by setting our first art piece on FIRE!!!!! You will take your manifestation piece home & place it on your alter or somewhere you see it regularly.

Hot Potato Hearts is an inclusive community focused on building meaningful connections in low-pressure, casual safe spaces. Their goal is to create a welcoming, fun & relaxed environment at all of their events for cultivating relationships—whether romantic or platonic. Born from the heart of a queer woman, Hot Potato Hearts is & always will be a space for all genders, all sexualities, all races & all abilities.
