### Week 2, January 16th 2023: Coffee Fortune-Telling
*Performed by Aglaia*
For Aglaia's ritual, we sat in a circle while the coffee was being prepared by the ancient Stove priestess who was placed in the middle. When it was done, it was served to the participants in special coffee cups. We drank our coffee while gossiping and eating cookies. When everybody was done, we swirled the cup counter-clockwise 3 times and turned the coffee cup upside down over the cup's saucer. We waited patiently for 5 minutes for the fortune to be prepared. Everybody had to tell the Fortune of the person sitting on their left side by reading the coffee grounds until the circle was done.

*Performed by Stephen*
Stephen prepared a few zines with instructions to conduct a ceremonial cleansing of not only our browser history and cookies but also our trash cans/recycle bins. All operating systems were welcome.
The zine was a reminder to 'clean' messy space up (for yourself) and was written in such a way that instructed us to recite sentences at the same time, with one person leading the group a play on the magic circle.

### Week 4, January 30th 2023: Birthday Cake
*Performed by Boyana*
To celebrate Agalaia's birthday, Boyana baked a cake and Ada made jellies. We sat in a circle, gathering around the cake. The person who had their birthday most recently sliced the cake, and we took turns to wish them our blessings. After going through a round, we ate together.

### Week 6, February 13th 2023: Guided Meditation (A Nighttime Ritual)
*Performed by Cara*
Cara's ritual is related to her history of having a hard time falling asleep at night. Over the years, she has found that music - especially quiet music with the sound of nature (field recordings) really helps her fall asleep. She DJs outside of class and plays a lot of ambient, narrative DJ sets. For her ritual, she played a sound piece she had made of field recordings around Rotterdam (the sound of water lapping against a water taxi, the sound of wind, the sound of rain) and read out a poem about sleeplessness from a collection of literature about the Night. The ritual was meant to lull everyone to a moment of peace.

### Week 10, March 13th 2023: That Distant Future When We Share a Coffee
*Performed by Chae*
Special Guest Chaeyoung Kim joined us in a ritual involving drinking tea, steaming glasses and collective healing through care and conversation. Over bubbling background sounds we talked about our experiences of a recent global pandemic that had an effect on us all, and we recreated the isolating experience of wearing glasses with a mask. Finally we wiped eachothers glasses back to clarity, from a distance but somehow at the same time closer.
