15-Min Creative Coffee Chats | In Person

A twice-monthly pop-up library reference desk (inside a coffee shop!) for your creative questions.

📍The December chats are hosted at Cooperative Coffee Roasters in West Asheville.

About the Pop-Up Library Reference Desk

Join me this fall to experience Library of Care in pop-up form. Think of a reference desk inside of a coffee shop, and the librarian on duty only answers questions about creative relationships—how to find one, how to care for the one you have, and how to spark new life into one that’s feeling burned out or not what you thought it would be at this stage in your life.

They’ll be books, duh! And card decks, bookmarks, coloring pages, fidget toys, and more from the Tray of Delights. They’ll be delicious coffee, matcha, and breakfast treats to purchase from a local business. But most of all, you’ll leave with a question you didn’t know you needed to ask.

In these 15-Minute Creative Coffee Chat sessions, I’ll invite you to ask a question, then pull a card or a book from my pop-up Library of Care, and together we'll tease apart one of your creative challenges to bring forth more clarity, direction, and purpose to your whole creative life.

How to Reserve Your 15-Minute Chat

To reserve your 15-minute chat time, you can sign up HERE. You’ll be prompted to answer a few questions and will receive email reminders about your booking.
