Hekaya Haven
Simamisha nishukie hapa because if it's not death by tax, it's definitely death by bills, burnout, traffic, work pressure, "quick calls" that are never quick and adulting reminding us premium dust stays constant. In between, we try to live a little - because life is for the living! Sometimes we genuinely need a place to refuel. To laugh properly. To meet good people. To exist outside routine for a few hours. So The Hekaya Haven curated exactly . An intimate and joyful evening of stories, play, conversation, connection, games, laughter, interesting lore and genuinely good energy. The kind of space where you come for "just vibes" and somehow leave with:
- new inside jokes
- new friendships
- additions to your album
- random deep conversation
and at least one person saying: "we really need to do this again."

Rhythm & Rage

There's a lot to be angry about right now (and rightfully so)...
Human greed. Dehumanisation. Oppression. Injustice. Selfishness. Corruption. Femicide. The list goes on. We invite you into a space to meet sacred rage with curiosity, movement, and care. In this gathering, we are reimagining our relationship with anger through decolonial inquiry and dance therapy - reclaiming it from the narratives that have made it something dangerous, shameful, or wrong.
Facilitated by
Dance Therapist: Trinasia Jones |
Decolonial Psychologist: Tula Bischof
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop has 30 limited spots. Registration will close once capacity is reached.

Colour Untamed by Katie Simpson

Katie Simpson is a Kenyan painter whose work is an act of witness to the animals, landscapes, and fragile ecologies that shaped her from childhood. Born in Kenya and formed by an artistic environment surrounded by nature, the colours and textures of Africa have never left her. They are the ground from which everything else grows. Colour Untamed brings that lifelong conversation into full focus. Her paintings are ethereal explorations of the earth’s fragility and wildlife’s vulnerability, attempts to catch fleeting moments before they vanish, subjects held briefly in abstracted, luminous space. There is urgency in that impulse. Kenya’s wild places are changing, and Simpson paints in response – not with polemic, but with something more tender and more lasting.
