ABOUT the artist:
Martha Morales Purucker is a fused glass artist with a love for creating and sharing the beauty of glass in its many forms. From the vibrant streets of Mexico City, where she was born and raised, to the creative heart of Nashville, her journey as an artist has been as colorful and diverse as the glass she work with.
Her artistic journey began in 2014 when she discovered the fascinating world of Kiln-formed glass. Since then, she's had the privilege of learning from some of the most talented glass and mosaic masters, honing her skills in various techniques. Whether it's the delicate art of stained glass, the intricate patterns of mosaics, or the dynamic forms of fused glass, each piece she creates is a reflection of her passion and dedication to the incredible medium. Her art is more than just a personal expression—it’s a way to connect, teach, and build a community. In 2022, Martha co-founded a business that has since evolved to what is now a solo venture—Glassville—a teaching studio where she can share her love for glass art with others. The studio is more than just a place to learn; it’s a vibrant community where creativity thrives, and everyone is encouraged to explore their artistic potential.

Dining Around Town: Casual Chain Crawl @ Charleys Cheesesteaks (Opry Mills)
Details + RSVP Here!
For 2026 we are introducing a new category of our popular Dining Around Town Series called... Casual Chain Crawl with Cristina!
Since this group began, we have consciously tried to avoid be chain restaurants in favor of supporting small and local businesses. However with such a multicultural group, it is not surprising that multiple members have expressed interest in checking out some of the most popular American chain restaurants as a cultural dining experience of sorts.
One of our most passionate members, "Italian Cristina", has volunteered to host this series and has researched and hand selected the locations which are all over the greater Nashville area.
For this event, we are heading to... Charleys Cheesesteaks!
ABOUT from web:
Charleys Philly Steaks founder and CEO Charley Shin tasted his first Philly Cheesesteak back in 1985 while attending The Ohio State University. As a young undergrad with an appetite for success, Shin knew he wanted to share this sandwich experience with others in a big way. After experimenting with countless ingredients and perfecting his recipe, Shin turned his entrepreneurial dreams into reality in 1986 when he opened his first restaurant called Charley’s Steakery, a 450-square foot space near The Ohio State University campus. With the support of his mother, Charley’s Steakery became an instant hit with college students who craved the made-fresh Philly Cheesesteaks, loaded Gourmet Fries and all-natural Lemonades.

Four full-blown haunts, each with its own story, make this destination a scream factory worth every second!
But the frights don’t stop at the exits. The midway here is alive with some of the most interactive characters we’ve ever seen! Add in a massive gift shop packed with spooky treasures, photo ops, and plenty of space to soak it all in, and you’ve got a night that delivers wall-to-wall fear and fun.

ABOUT Human Design:
Human Design is a system of self-understanding that offers a different way of looking at how you naturally move through the world, make decisions, use your energy and interact with the people around you.
You’ve probably heard someone say they’re a Generator, Projector or Manifesting Generator, but what does any of that actually mean?
ABOUT the event:
Designed to Be You: An Introduction to Human Design
Join Human Design guide Fabi Cordaro for an approachable and interactive introduction to Human Design. We’ll explore the five Energy Types, the different ways we’re designed to make decisions, and how understanding your design can help you notice where you may be working against yourself instead of trusting what comes naturally to you.
No previous Human Design knowledge is needed. Come curious, bring your questions, and leave with a new way of understanding yourself and the people in your life.
Before you come:
Head to MyHumanDesign.com and download your free Human Design chart using your birth date, exact birth time and place of birth. Don’t worry if you have no idea what any of it means yet. That’s what we’re going to talk about!

Dining Around Town: Nashville Jam Cafe (Berry Hill)
Details + RSVP Here!
You said... MORE BREAKFAST & BRUNCH DINING... we listened...
This month our Dining around Town series takes us to Nashville Jam Cafe in Berry Hill!
ABOUT from web:
The Baron's started by growing heirloom tomatoes and several varieties of peppers. As our garden grew, so did our supply of produce. We had more fruits and vegetables than we could possibly consume. We gave away an abundance, sold some at farmers markets and made jam and jelly out of the rest.
We started giving strawberry jalapeno jam, peach habanero jam and six pepper jelly away as gifts at Christmas. The response was overwhelming. We began selling jam and jelly at the Saturday market on the square in Murfreesboro TN. We started to build a local following and began selling at the West Nashville farmers market, Donelson farmers market and the Nashville farmers market. The Nashville Jam Company was born.

Books & Banter @ Homegrown Taproom (MJ)
Details + RSVP Here!
Many of you have requested a kind of silent reading event where you're able to get some reading done and also connect with other readers.
Join us for another Books & Banter event at the Homegrown Taproom & Kitchen
in Mount Juliet!
ABOUT:
Homegrown opened in 2015 with a pretty simple idea: Donelson deserved a real neighborhood pub. Not a chain. Not a concept. Just a good room with good food, cold beer, and people who'd actually remember your name.
Female-owned and operated from day one, we built this place from the ground up — and we've kept it that way. That matters to us, but it's not the headline. The headline is the food. The taps. The regulars who've been coming in since our first week.
We're a family-owned restaurant in Nashville — the kind of place where strangers become regulars and regulars become family. If you're flying in through BNA or live two blocks away, you'll find the same welcome either way.

Whatever you buy.
TIME:
6pm
PARKING:
Free parking in lot.
