Panel style education at the Charleston Library Society. It is that blend of inspired, earnest and heart-felt. Hearing voices amplify the First Nations of Colombia through the artisans regenerative point of view.

Ten dinners in ten beautiful downtown Charleston homes hosted friends of IBU with menus from the Colombian chef and cookbook. At each home ten guests gather plus one of the Colombian artisans aka luminaries. It is the opportunity to share community with food, drink and conversation.
The event collectively then gathers at Amanda and Kevin Flynn to enjoy dessert by FIG allies, table styled by Mariana.
The pop up shop will be at the dessert house. Artisans answer questions and get to see their treasures highlighted.
