Turkish Coffee, Fortune Readings & Rock Painting with Dalya
2024-11-16 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Happy Medium Books Cafe, 2724 Park St, Jacksonville, FL, 32205, United States
Workshop Description:
Immerse yourself in a unique cultural experience that blends tradition, mysticism, and
creativity. This workshop offers a deep dive into the enchanting world of Turkish coffee
culture, fortune cup readings, and the art of painting evil eye rocks.
First Hour: Turkish Coffee Cup Readings
Begin your journey by learning the traditional method of brewing Turkish coffee, a practice
rich in history and cultural significance. Once your coffee is brewed, you’ll delve into the
mystical art of “tasseography” – Turkish coffee cup fortune reading. Discover how to interpret
the intricate patterns left by coffee grounds to gain insights and predictions about the future.
This ancient practice combines storytelling with a touch of mysticism and is a cherished
tradition passed down from my great aunt, which I’ll be sharing with you.
Second Hour: Evil Eye Rock Painting
Next, unleash your creativity with our Evil Eye Rock Painting session. The evil eye, or
“nazar,” is a powerful symbol believed to protect against bad luck and bring good fortune.
You’ll learn about the history and cultural significance of the evil eye, particularly in Turkey
and the Middle East. Using vibrant, non-toxic acrylic pen paints, you’ll create your own
beautifully painted evil eye rocks, perfect as a talisman or a thoughtful gift.
Workshop Highlights:
Turkish coffee brewing on sand and tasting session
Step-by-step guide on preparing coffee cup readings
Performing a coffee cup reading for one person or a general example
Interpreting the patterns, shapes, and designs
Introduction to the history and symbolism of the evil eye
Rock painting instructions for the evil eye
Take home your personalized evil eye rock

BookTalk with Vic DiGenti
2024-11-17 13:00 - 15:00 UTC | Happy Medium Books Cafe, 2724 Park St, Jacksonville, FL, 32205, United States
Join us at the Café as award winning author Vic DiGenti discusses his latest work James Anthony: The Banker Who Shaped Florida’s History.
You may not know the name James R. Anthony, but Floridians, who pay no state income tax, owe him a debt of gratitude. From humble beginnings as a Georgia farm boy, Anthony used his business acumen to help transform Florida’s wilderness settlements into thriving cities. Over a span of 36 years, he found success in multiple fields, including men’s clothing stores, real estate, banking, and insurance, helping to shape Florida’s future during the frenetic boom and bust years of the early 1900s.
James R. Anthony: The Banker Who Shaped Florida’s History introduces us to pioneers, politicians, millionaire developers, and sketchy con men. You’ll meet the developers who sold the dreams and who, along with real estate speculators, helped fuel the boom. J. R. Anthony observed it all, working and profiting through the good times and moving on before the economic balloon burst in 1926. Anthony’s story is much like Florida’s story—a fascinating history lesson brought to life in vivid detail by the man who helped shape it.
Vic DiGenti is the award-winning author of six novels, a collection of short stories, and
13 works of nonfiction. His novels include the Windrusher trilogy of adventure-fantasies,
and the Quint Mitchell Mystery series published under the pen name Parker Francis.
Working as a ghostwriter and biographer, he’s penned biographies for many clients.
Vic has also helped other individuals edit and publish their books through his
imprint Windrusher Hall Press.
As a working author and publisher, Vic has taught writing classes at the University of
North Florida and workshops at writers’ groups and conferences throughout Florida. He’s
a longtime member of the Florida Writers Association, International Thriller Writers, and
is on the Board of the Beaches Museum. He lives and works in Northeast Florida with his
wife and four frisky cats. Visit him at windrusherhallpress.com.
