I meet you at our designated spot on Aiolou Street, from where we walk together to a cafe where the workshop takes place. The workshop is meant for 3 people at a time. We will not be more crowded than 3 guests and myself as host, unless you wish to have the session with a larger group. We sit together around a small table. We drink coffee and once we are finished, we turn the cups upside down and let them rest until they are cold. Throughout this time, I explain to you the various methods of cup-reading, the history and the social function of divination, as well as sharing information about some of the popular traditional beliefs of the Eastern Mediterranean. I can carry out the workshop around your questions and curiosities if you share them with me. If you don’t have any specific questions, or if you want to get a coffee reading without having to listen to how it is done, you can tell me and we adjust the session accordingly. Once the coffee cups have gone cold, we read them. I explain at every step how the shapes and patterns can be interpreted, and how a story can be found in a coffee cup. We try together to make sense of the story that appears inside the cup, to interpret the life of the person, and the world to which they belong. The cup’s stories are means to encourage individuals to have a new perspective on their lives and to focus on what really matters for them.
