Nostos
A lunch salon series by AnthroprospectiveNostos is an intimate new lunch salon series by Anthrōprospective, launching at Cam’s Kiosk in the Abbotsford Convent. Inspired by the ancient Greek concept of nostos [νόστος]—a longing to return home—this gathering invites us back: to community, to place, to self, and to one another. In a time of disconnection, Nostos is a return to slow, thoughtful conversation shared over a warm meal.
This inaugural winter session will be grounded on the theme of rites of passage—those often unspoken transitions that shape our lives. We’ll explore how these rituals help us make sense of change, structure the world around us, and guide us through our own experiences of becoming. Through an anthropological lens, we’ll hold space for personal reflection, shared stories, and social insight.
Whether you’re curious about anthropology, seeking connection over good food and drinks or simply drawn to deep conversation, Nostos offers a place at the table. Come as you are, bring your thoughts, your appetite, and your warmth.
*Ticket price includes set menu lunch and two glasses of wine. Please indicate your dietary requirements at booking.
