​Bring a book that’s touched your heart, share a piece of your story, and leave with new connections—whether friendships or sparks.

​This is a space for tender-hearted humans who are craving something a little more real.

​Expect meaningful conversation, low-pressure interactions, and the quiet magic of shared stories.

​On your way in, you’ll make a name tag and can optionally add a few stickers to signal what you’re open to—romantic connection, friendship, or both.

​We’ll also have additional stickers available for those who want to share more about how they identify or connect (queer, non-monogamous, etc.).

​Share as much or as little as feels right—this is here to make connection easier, not to box you in.
It helps people find each other a little more easily.

​You’ll introduce your book (a quick 60-second rave), add it to the table, and take part in a playful, white-elephant-style exchange.

​Come as you are. Leave with something new.

​And if it feels like a fit… you may be invited into future curated gatherings.

​🎟 Pricing

​$28 per person (includes a drink)
$50 for a two-person ticket

​Join us in the Open Circle—your next meaningful connection may start here.
This tends to attract really good humans.

​✨ FAQs

​✨ What kind of event is this?

​A mindful, playful gathering for connection.
Less like a book club, more like a cozy social space where books are the starting point.

​📚 What should I bring?

​Bring a book (or magazine or puzzle) you’ve already read—or simply loved, hated, or can’t stop thinking about.

​💛 Do I have to speak in front of everyone?

​Just briefly.
You’ll have about a minute to introduce your book and share why you chose it—no pressure to perform, just an invitation to share.

​👀 Is this a dating event?

​Kind of—but not in the traditional sense.

​Some people come open to dating, others come for community.
We don’t force outcomes here.

​Connection first. Everything else can grow from there.

​🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️ Who is this for?

​People who value:
– kindness
– curiosity
– emotional awareness

​If that sounds like you, you’ll likely feel at home here.

​🎟 What’s included in the ticket?

​– entry to the event
– a draft drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
– a room full of thoughtful, open humans

​👯 Can I come alone?

​Yes—most people do.

​These events are designed to make it easy to meet people, even if you walk in not knowing anyone.

​🔁 What happens to the book I bring?

​You’ll add it to the shared table, and leave with a different one through the exchange.

​🌀 What does “Open Circle” mean?

​This is a front-door event—anyone aligned is welcome.

​From here, I may invite people into smaller, more curated gatherings based on energy and what they’re looking for.

​❌ What’s your refund policy?

​Tickets are non-refundable, but you’re welcome to transfer your spot to a friend.

​🌿 What if I’m nervous?

​That’s completely normal.

​You don’t need to be “on” here.
Just come as you are—there’s room for you.
