FLIP NIGHT
Make beats with friends. Join Victoria’s beat making community to learn, share tips + techniques, and experiment with sample-based music.
Writing Wild
An evening of writing where all genres dissipate. A facilitated circle where poetry, narrative story, script, monolog and any other forms of creative writing belong. There will be a prompt, you will be encouraged to write, there will be opportunities to share but only if you feel drawn to it. A space to play with word.
Let's Write About It
We’re switching gears for the summer with a new event called “Let’s Write About It!” happening every 2nd Wednesday of the month. Join us on June 12th for our very first songwriting circle with a cool optional theme: Summer and nostalgia
Don’t you worry, “Let’s Talk About It!” continues every 4th Wednesday of the month. In fact, “Let’s Write About It” will hint to each next featured artist. Can you guess who it is this month?
Both of these events also now start at 7pm so we can share our summer nights together supporting our local artists, live music, and community.
Reserve your spot by emailing ms.annemartina@gmail.com

Tom Rothmeier
Born in Bayern, Germany, Tom never really fit into his Lederhosen and resented the Bavarian beer lifestlye, instead he prefered smoking plants which led him to move to BC at 21 years old.
Once he settled into the West Coast lifestyle, Tom realized that he was in the right spot to pursue his interest in intoxicating plants, mindfulness and laughter.
Now, he’s become a well-known entrepreneur in the Candian Cannabis industry and has been building communities for everyone who shares his passion for plants, mindfulness and being silly.
It’s Tom’s mission to empower the people around him to reach their potential and live a fun and fulfilling life.

One of the most effective ways to get moving on your goals is to share them openly in a supportive group setting and meet regularly to share progress.
This program encourages participants to set out realistic goals, break down what actions are needed, and choose their own deadlines. Participants meet regularly to share progress and talk openly about their successes in taking action, and any blockers they encountered. This is all about encouraging all participants get traction for their goals. Most importantly, it is about celebrating progress and results as a group. Sometimes what seems like a just small step can be huge for an artist.
