Alicante Creatives

🇪🇸 (Español al fin) 🇬🇧 Whether you're an avid book worm or you have a dusty pile of books waiting to be read - this event is for you.

Read + Root is a unique event hinged on three key components:

🫖 tea time.
📚 books.
🌱 and plants.

If this sounds like an introvert's paradise - you are in good company. Keep reading.

First, we'll all meet in the tea room at Mish Mish and get settled. We'll order our drinks/snacks and chat (that's where the 'tea time' comes in 😉)

Then, when we're ready, we'll settle down and read! I'll set a timer for one hour and we'll all dive into our books (bring your own book - e-books are OK!).

You can read whatever you want! Because this isn't really a book club, it's a reading club :) The point of this event is to create a supportive, cozy space to read the book of your choice - especially if you struggle to find the time and focus to read. And ideally, we'll also be able to enjoy some quality time away from doom-scrolling on our phones...

But wait, 'what about the plants?!'

Yes, of course, the plants! 🌱

So the idea is to have a very casual, and very optional, plant swap!

If you have plants at home, feel free to bring cuttings that can be rooted. And then, we can swap our cuttings! (If you have a green thumb: rooted plant cuttings are perfect!)

As I said, the plants are a completely optional component, it's just something I'd love to try.

This is an experimental event - let's see how it goes and if we like it, we can do it again!

See you at Mish Mish in the tea lounge side 🤓 bring a book and pick a root! 🌱📚🫖

🇪🇸 ¡Mi español es malo! Pero lo intentaré: llevaré un libro al salón de té de Mish Mish. Charlaremos y luego, cada uno leerá su propio libro durante 1 hora en silencio. Trae tu propio libro, ¡todos leeremos nuestros propios libros! También tendremos un intercambio de plantas opcional. No dudes en traer esquejes de plantas de casa. Envíame un mensaje privado si tienes más preguntas :) ~Vena y Google Translate

### Do You Need to Create Time for Reflection? ✍️✨

Sometimes our daily life gets so busy that we forget to pause, reflect, and decide on a direction ➡️

Without that space, it can feel like we’re driving through life on autopilot — until we suddenly wonder, “How did I end up here?”

Writing therapy is a powerful tool for creating that space. It helps us slow down, tune in, and work through whatever is going on in our inner world.

Research shows that just 15 minutes a day of writing can have a positive impact on your inner wellbeing and improve your overall health.

🖋️ During this gathering, I’ll provide optional writing therapy questions to guide your reflection.

But this won’t be a structured workshop — simply a quiet, shared time of writing, each person in their own process, but in the supportive presence of others, writing side by side.

❤️ This is your time — to reflect, recharge, and realign. It’s a chance to explore your thoughts and feelings, set intentions, or simply pause.

You don’t need to share anything you write, and you can write about whatever feels right for you.

☕ We’ll meet at the cozy Mish Mish tea lounge, grab our drinks/snacks, and settle in.

⏳ When we’re ready, I’ll set a timer for one hour of silent writing and reflection.

✨ Come as you are. Bring a pen, a notebook, or whatever you prefer to write on 🖊️ 📒 💻 📱
