An Evening of Literature, Conversation, and Connection

Join us for an intimate evening at The Tankard, a chance for women to gather, connect, and engage in meaningful conversation around love, desire, and the stories we carry.

Inspired by Christin Marie's feminist romantasy novelette, The Rose Temple, this event centres on excerpts from the book and the themes it explores: romance through a feminist lens, power, desire, and agency in relationships.

Through guided conversation and optional journaling, we will reflect on what it means to love, to choose, and to reclaim our own narratives.

What to expect:

A short reading from The Rose Temple

Guided discussion on themes of love, power, and agency

Optional journaling time for personal reflection

A warm, welcoming space to connect with other women

About the Book:

The Rose Temple is a feminist romantasy novelette set in Classical-era Crete, following a priestess's journey from sacred duty to reclaimed desire. It is a story about love, autonomy, and the courage to choose your own path.

Please note: Drinks and food will be available for purchase at the bar.

Whether you come alone or with friends, you are welcome. No preparation needed. Just bring yourself, an open mind, and a willingness to share if you feel called.
