Your logical brain thinks it’s making all the decisions - your nose disagrees. 🧠👃

Humans can process over 1 trillion scents, and every single one bypasses conscious thought to shape your emotions, trigger memories, and alter behavior before you can even object.

We’re bringing together scent historian Sofia Ehrich and Arielle Tai (founder of Scentered Workshops) to unpack the invisible chemistry of history, culture, and human biology.

🗓️ Monday, Sept 28 | 19:00

📍 The Book Nook @scenteredworkshops

Where do your real memories end and your creative fiction begin? 📖

This Friday, author Daniel Cecil joins us at The Book Nook to explore autofiction - the thin line between living your life and self-mythologizing it. Come for the sangria, stay for the existential debate.
