An Afternoon Offline

Reading, writing, tea. Phones away, no outcome required.

An open book, notebook, pencil and glass of tea on a wooden table in warm afternoon light

There is no programme beyond tea, a comfortable chair and a few hours that belong to you.

  • No perfect result expected.

What is included

Cancellation, in short

Cancel more than 48 hours before your DALAL and your booking can be refunded or transferred to another available DALAL. Within 48 hours, cancellations are non-refundable because materials and preparations are already arranged — you may still transfer your place to someone else. If DALAL cancels, you choose between a full refund or another date.
