Thinking Through Passion

Is passion something we should chase, protect, and build a life around, or is it a trap that can mislead us, exhaust us, and blur our judgment?

Join us for an intimate discussion guided by prompts from Dr. Ece Tekbulut. We’ll explore both sides, its strengths and its drawbacks, through questions and shared reflection. The evening will be accompanied by passion-themed desserts by Nun Left’s Jane Brendlinger.

🍷🍰 Your ticket includes the desserts as well as two glasses of wine, or any refreshment of your choice from the venue.
