Hildegard’s cookies of joy and the journey to the nearby cosmos:
online baking & writing workshop,
led by Chiara Dellerba 


















































As a society, we are committed to community gathering. Here we list and document some past and upcoming events and collaborations. 

If you’d like to propose a collaboration with us (online, in person, anywhere in the world), we’d love to hear from you.

When we focus on our sensory experience like touching, smelling, tasting and mixing ingredients together we often get into an unexpected journey into memories, feelings and images that generate visions and guide us to journeys into the nearby cosmos.

During the session we will explore stories while playing and mixing ingredients to make and bake cookies of joy. Taking inspiration from the original recipe of Hildegard's Cookies of Joy, we will use fiction, mapping and data visualisation to experiment with alternative recipe-writing.

6 August 2023: 4-6pm—online. Free & open to all. You don’t need to have been involved with the society in the past to take part. We’d love to meet you!
