Collection: Bookish Baddie Club

Next Chapter events explained ✨

Next Chapter is about building community around reading, rest, wellness, creativity, and collective action. That means our events can look a little different from month to month but they’re all rooted in the same idea: read, rest, resist.

Sometimes that looks like moving our bodies and connecting with books. Sometimes it’s an anti-burnout workshop, a cozy craft night, a tea blending event, a book swap, or a postcard-writing party to remind our legislators who they work for.

Throughout the year, you’ll find events at different price points and in different spaces, with different activities, goodies, and community partners. 

But no matter what we’re doing, you can expect:

1. Community care
Come as you are. Come alone. Bring a friend. There’s always room for you.

2. Something to read, make, learn, or take home
A bookish goodie, a new skill, a handmade creation, a tea blend, a new-to-you book. There’s always something to carry into your next chapter.

3. A little rest & a little resistance
Because we believe rest is necessary, not something you have to earn, and taking care of ourselves and each other gives us the energy to keep showing up for the things we care about.

Attend 5 Next Chapter events and you’ll get a goodie of your choice. 

We can't wait to see you at the next one <3
