Nourish Café at The Calla Project
Hosted by VivaBloomz in collaboration with The Calla Project
You make room for everyone else.
Here’s a little room for you and your book.
Bring the book you bought months ago, the old favourite you’d happily reread or the one you’re already halfway through. We’ll settle in over food and drinks, read quietly together and see what we notice when we give ourselves a little time with the page.
Maybe you used to read for hours and now get through half a page before someone needs you. Maybe you already love reading and would enjoy doing it in good company. Either way, pick a book you’re looking forward to opening.
What we’ll do together
Order brunch and settle in. Choose your food and drink at Nourish Café, then join us at the shared table. Jaslin will welcome everyone and guide you through the morning.
Read whatever you brought. We’ll set aside uninterrupted reading time. Any book is welcome, and you can read as much or as little as you like.
Try a bookish prompt or keep reading. Save a line that stays with you, think about a character’s choice or notice how a passage connects with something in your life.
Girls aged 12+ can try a book scavenger hunt, play Character Chaos, write a mini review or doodle a postcard from their book.
See what other readers noticed. Share a favourite line, a character you’d like to have a word with or an idea you’re still thinking about.
Jaslin will guide the conversation, and you’re welcome to listen or pass.
Take a little of the morning home. Keep a line, a doodle or a fresh perspective, and choose one small way to make time for reading again. A few pages over lunch counts.
Coming with your daughter?
Girls aged 12 and up are welcome to join their mums. Bring a book each and pick the activities you’re drawn to. You might read side by side, swap favourite lines or show each other what you made.
What to bring and how to book
Bring any book and a pen. We’ll provide the reading and reflection materials.
Reserve a place for each attendee. The S$10 commitment fee per person is refunded at the end of the event to those who attend.
Plan for a separate café purchase. Each attendee, including teens, is required to buy at least one food item and one drink from Nourish Café.
