Community Mailbox Experiment
What a joyful surprise this project has been!
In January, I put a mailbox outside Happy Time Studio, loaded with blank cards, pre-addressed envelopes, and a request: write me a letter. I expected a few people to respond, but DOZENS of letters have come in, and continue to do so.
The experiment has been extended through June 2025. AND—
as of May 2, a secondary exhibit, Letters from Friends, showcases the letters’ vulnerable, hopeful, wise collective.
Visit, view, and contribute at Happy Time Studio, Issaquah -

RAGE is RESISTANCE
(Basically) one year after the election, dive into a daylong experience and processing of rage. Full-bodied, full-hearted release through shouting, dancing, breaking shit, making shit. Of course, some writing. This one melds mindfulness with punk rock. It’s gonna be rad.
