Join the Flor Bookclub as we discuss The Alchemist—a timeless story about dreams, destiny, and listening to the signs along the way.
About this Event

Join us for our next Flor Bookclub gathering as we dive into The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, a modern classic beloved by readers around the world.

This short but powerful novel follows Santiago, a shepherd who sets out on a journey in search of treasure—only to discover that the greatest riches often lie within. Along the way, Coelho explores themes of intuition, purpose, courage, and the mysterious ways the universe guides us when we pursue our dreams.

Whether you’ve read the book before or are discovering it for the first time, come ready for a lively and thoughtful conversation.

As always at Flor, the evening will be cozy and welcoming. Your ticket includes:

  • Two empanadas
  • A glass of Argentine wine
  • A selection of pastries

Copies of The Alchemist are available at Flor in English and Spanish for those who want to purchase a copy before the event.

Come for the book, stay for the conversation—and maybe discover a few signs of your own along the way.
