With the intention of celebrating all things I love and Cherish, which, in turn, brings me much joy and happiness and sharing that space with more people over shared meaningful conversations and a meal from my kitchen was born -Hi&Mytea๐ผ
Encouraged by dear friends ๐ค
As the visual shows, it is a celebration of individuals with diverse experiences and interests, of crafts and craftsmen , the stories of travel , of weaves and textiles , of food and recepies.
A free flowing space, though .
Not Debates, or opiniated arguments.
A space to LISTEN and not judge.
A mentioned colour code but no enforcement.
A meal with hints of regions and places but again a tweaked version from personal memory and experiments.
A gathering of people who are not necessarily familiar or similar ๐.
BUT .. there is an invisible thin string that binds them, and I perceive that, and thus, the gathering has a certain rhythm one we all felt ๐
