a place to relax…

...if you're tired of the strive, fed up with gurus, and in need of informed, intelligent, entertaining conversation about what truly matters. Here in the fv café, we share the breadth of our art—poetry, paintings, prose, photographs, music, and our collective wisdom.

What counts, in the café as in life, is that our hearts are in it.

“Life is rich and rewarding in so many ways if we only take the time and space to notice.”

What can we bring you today?

colorful handwritten-style text on a dark background. The chalkboard lists essays, poet's corner, and audio & video. It also advertises live café sessions via Zoom every Wednesday at 2pm, London time, exclusive to members, with details inside.

who
we are

A person with shoulder-length hair wearing a houndstooth hat and a dark jacket, playing a piano with a cat sitting on top, in a room decorated with musical notes, a clock, and a portrait of Beethoven.
A man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, with a beard and mustache, posing in front of a brick wall.
A woman with shoulder-length hair, smiling and resting her chin on her hand, wearing a watch and sunglasses on her head, outdoors against a cloudy sky.
A woman with glasses laying on grass next to a dandelion, outdoor setting with clouds in the sky.

Matthew, Arnaly, Sara and Yvonne.

Four creatively like-hearted people who love all that’s best about being human.

Each of us does “our own thing” in our individual, unique ways but we come together as often as we can in the Fertile Void Café to share stories, experiences, laughter and troubles, too.

Above all, we come to celebrate being alive.

In a nutshell, Matthew writes, Arnaly sings, Sara voices and Yvonne paints.

But the truth is, we all do all of these things - and more. There are no labels or restrictions in the Fertile Void!

You can find out more inside the Café - just as soon as we find time in between creating wonderful stuff and write a bit about ourselves. And have our photos taken, of course.
