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

Front view of a café with outdoor seating, two tables with chairs, a dog lying on the steps, and a storefront sign reading 'where Less happens, by design'.

The Fertile Void Café

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 over a cup of whatever works for you.

And it’s where we can share the breadth of our art - paintings, photographs, sketches, and videos as well as sharing music, spoken word, dialogue, and, of course, our wisdom.

Interior of a restaurant called 'The Fertile Void Cafe' with four framed mirrors on the wall, two with red text 'paint drying...' and one with red text 'paint drying...' and a sign that reads 'the FV cafe,' a round table with a few chairs, and some booklets on the table.

What’s inside the cafe?

There are rarely answers in here…

…but there are Really Good Questions. We have poetry, prose, short stories, flash fiction, essays, longer-form pieces, even just one-liners.

What counts here is that our hearts are in it.

But let’s not forget touches of light relief! The Fertile Void Café is not only for serious heavyweight, pondering.

A person wearing a houndstooth beret and a black coat plays the piano in a room with green walls, decorated with musical notes, a clock, and a portrait of Beethoven. A cat lies on the piano behind the person.

Who
we are

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.
