Back in the dark rooms with low frequencies\, where we can strip away our modern life induced egos. This is the gathering of ancestral spirits. Feel the raw energy. Lose yourself in the moment. Awaken your primal sense on Friday\, April 17th at Geary Avenue Warehouse. \nLimited capacity. Free w/ RSVP. \nSelectors of the night in alphabetical order:OC.mp3 – Minimal Tech HouseJuane Caldas – Tech House/TechnoLemonberg – Breakbeat/HardgrooveIn Depth Subject – UK Garage \nFollow us on Instagram @ticketedevents for more accessible and affordable experiences.

Whether you’ve walked the trail\, dream of doing so\, or simply love stories that explore courage\, connection\, and transformation\, this film captures the true spirit of what it means to journey with purpose. \n About Dan Mullins Dan Mullins is an Australian singer-songwriter\, broadcaster\, and author whose music and storytelling have inspired pilgrims worldwide.

SUMMARY:Amy Montgomery: In Generous Places
DESCRIPTION:Reception Sat April 18\, 12 – 2 pm \nApril 18 – May 5\, 2026 \nThis collection draws inspiration from time I have spent in cottage country\, where the landscape offers an abundance of colour\, beauty\, and experience. \nBy punctuating these scenes with unexpected hues to emphasize light and shadow\, I blur the boundaries of time and memory. The shifting palette of water\, sky\, and shoreline becomes less about a specific visit and more about the feeling of being there and the lingering joy it leaves behind. \nThese landscapes reflect the generosity of the places that continue to invite me back. \nMontgomery’s work is playful\, both in process and product. She finds inspiration in daily life and cottage views. Her style and point of view as an artist are influenced by the years she worked as a professional graphic designer and photographer. She enjoys painting expressionistically\, allowing confident\, bold brushstrokes and carefully placed contrasting colours to build unexpected texture and energy. Her goal is to produce spirited\, contemporary art with an air of nostalgia.

SUMMARY:Welfare
DESCRIPTION:“His masterpiece” – The Guardian \nWidely recognized as one of the greatest and most accomplished documentary filmmakers of all time\, Frederick Wiseman created an unprecedented body of work over the course six decades\, releasing 45 films up until his recent passing in February at the age of 96. \nWith so many highly regarded films to his name\, Welfare is considered to be one his finest\, if not his ultimate masterpiece. \nWelfare shows the nature and complexity of the welfare system in sequences illustrating the staggering diversity of problems that constitute welfare: housing\, unemployment\, divorce\, medical and psychiatric problems\, abandoned and abused children\, and the elderly. These issues are presented in a context where welfare workers as well as clients struggle to cope with and interpret the laws and regulations that govern their work and life. \nIn English and Spanish\, with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Laalima – The In-Between Supper\, by Rashmi Singh
DESCRIPTION:This dinner lives in the in-between. Between seasons and memories. Between Bihar and Canada. Tonight we honour both our Canadian homeland and the rustic\, bold flavours of Bihar – a northeastern state in India where mustard takes centre stage\, garlic is never held back\, and fennel sweetens the finish. It is a celebration of the food the chef grew up with and what grows here now. \nLaalima brings together Bihari classics and seasonal Canadian spring produce\, reimagined with care but never removed from their roots. Inspired by summers at the chef’s Nani’s hill-station home\, this supper honours food that was slow\, thoughtful\, and deeply nourishing—meant to be shared\, not rushed. \nWith this dinner\, Rashmi invites you to return to a grandmother’s home and to the quiet joy of being so loved that someone made your favourite food before you even asked. \n—- \nSTARTERS \nAsparagus Chaat  \nA spring opening\, chaat-style. Crisply fried asparagus layered over whipped yogurt\, lifted with tangy tamarind\, green chutney\, and a warmth from garlic chilli crisps. Comforting flavours reimagined through textural contrast. \nCreamy Daal Pitthi \nA modern tribute to Bihar’s steamed dumpling tradition. Soft dumplings made with wheat and black chickpea flour are gently simmered in a rich\, creamy lentil base\, delicately spiced and finished with crunchy garlic crumbs\, and bright citrus. A Bihari staple in spirit\, this bowl offers warmth\, nourishment\, and the quiet reassurance of home. \nMAINS \nBasanti Bhuna Saag \nA celebration of spring greens\, cooked the Bihari way. Mustard greens\, dandelions\, spinach\, and kale are slow cooked into a creamy\, earthy\, balanced\, and grounding dish. Finished with crisp fried leek ribbons and golden garlic chips for texture and contrast. \nBharwa Paanch Phoran Sabzi \nClassic stuffing\, bold flavours. Potatoes\, eggplants\, and tomatoes are stuffed with a traditional panch phoran (five spice) mixture — aromatic\, robust\, and unmistakably Eastern Indian. \nSIDES \nBhaat \nSteamed short-grain rice with a dollop of ghee \nAjwain Paratha \nWheat flour flatbreads seasoned with carrom and onion seeds \nSirka Pyaaz \nPickled shallots \nMooli Dhaniya  \nRadish and Cilantro chutney \nDESSERT \nGud ki Kheer & Thekua \nA gentle\, nostalgic closer. A creamy rice pudding\, infused with cardamom\, and sweetened with jaggery. It’s topped with a delicate\, crisp thekua wafer\, a nod to Bihar’s beloved festival biscuit. Guests must crack through the wafer to uncover the pudding beneath — a playful\, nostalgic finale that bridges tradition and surprise. \n—- \nRashmi Singh is an Executive events and communications specialist based in Toronto — a storyteller at heart\, both in her work and in her kitchen. She was raised on the warmth of her Nani & Ma’s Bihari cooking. She now shares those memories and flavours through her culinary Instagram page\, Spoonful with Rashmi.  \nLaalima is her debut supper club — a heartfelt tribute to the food of her childhood and the woman who inspired it all. With every course\, Rashmi invites guests to experience not just a menu but a memory of garlic-scented kitchens\, steel plates clinking\, and favourites made before you even asked.
