About this Event
Celebrate the old-fashioned magic of putting pen to paper with the writer behind the beloved newsletter about friendship, care, and connection. Spend the evening with Cambridge-based Aja Frost as she shares why she loves writing letters, the meaningful ones she’s written over the years, and what makes a letter truly unforgettable.
Start the night with a welcome drink (on the house, thanks to our friends at Warby Parker) then settle in with guided prompts designed to spark reflection, gratitude, and connection. Whether you’re pouring your heart out or simply saying thanks, you’ll leave with something meaningful in hand. Come early to mingle, stay late to browse the shelves, and rediscover the intimacy of the handwritten word.
Materials, stationery, envelopes, stamps, and pens, will be provided.
