We are about to enter the vortex in less than 2 weeks, so here’s a brief introduction to Calle-für-Alle -our LuckyPeopleCenter will be in orbit soon. From toastmasters [email protected] & [email protected] and on behalf of the entire Organising Committee (you’ll find out who we are on the 17th)
Important! If you for any reason have changed your mind, please let us know before June 6th as this is when orders are placed for food and drinks.
Dear Friends of Calle,
As the Midsummer sun is illuminating Stockholm and we are entering a time of year, which brings with it the joy of Northern white nights and the ethereal dance of light and shadow, we’re intent on harnessing this magic to celebrate our dear friend Calle, who’s story is one of turning each and every trial into a triumph – and of inspiring the rest of us to do the same.
Who wants to be just like Calle? 🙋
So, when the sunlight barely dims, at 18:00 hours, our grand celebration will begin with welcoming drinks in the heart of Hellasgården. Some of us might have had a refreshing swim in the lake a few steps away before this? Others might have taken a stroll in the forest or picked flowers from the surrounding meadows. But most of us have probably been looking in the mirror, asking ourselves “Do I look good in this? Are people going to like me?”
The answer is YES. This evening you will be just as loved as Calle❣️
What can be a better tribute to Calle’s journey than a gathering of friends in this mood and at this amazing spot?
As the evening unfolds, we will share tales of Calle’s adventurous life, inspiring us to continue to chase our dreams whilst we indulge in a 3-course seated dinner that promises to tantalise our senses, followed by refreshments which you can swish or swipe from the bar to enhance your mood even further.
During dinner, as the evening dusk casts a veil of stars above us, illuminating the sky in a mesmerising dance of colours, and the moon loses its shape, we too shall match their rhythm, with music that sets our souls on fire and dancing that mirrors the celestial spectacle. 🌖 Yes, Calle´s most skilled witch and wizard friends will lay down their magic tracks:
- Miss E & Jan Vall – our ever-smiling and surprising merry prankster couple
- Luci Lux – jefa curandera spin mistress
- Victor Norman – with perhaps another one of those barely-dressed sets?
Tired feets? Just around the corner, a restful fireplace awaits with a warm and welcoming glow – this is where deep, transformative conversations happen, new stories are born, friendships are deepened, and the merriment echoes via whispering trees nearby.
At 02:48 hrs, just as the sunrise becomes visible across our lake, our magic will start to spread into the rest of the universe, sending out enough interstellar love to fill both black hearts and black holes. So as singularity closes in, the spirit of Calle´s family will be everywhere and all around at once. And we will leave this physical space just as we found it. (But luckily, someone else will do the cleaning)
