Traveling Diary Campfire:An Evening of Global Stories & Intimate Revelation

The Traveling Diary Community began with a simple curiosity about the lives of strangers. What started as a single notebook in Montclair has grown into a global initiative spanning 33 countries. These are not digital posts or curated performances; they are physical diaries that travel from hand to hand—from the outskirts of Australia to the front lines of Ukraine.

In this circle, we shed our titles and roles to share in the magic of connection. Founder, Kyra Peralte, will open the archive to share these uncurated, handwritten lives with you.

• The Raw Archive: Immerse yourself in powerful, real-life stories shared as they were written in our physical traveling diaries.
• A Sacred Transition: Savor a complimentary drink and light bites during our sign-in hour before being led into the storytelling circle by a sound bowl procession.
• Historic Atmosphere: Connect with a community of story lovers within the beautiful, storied walls of the Van Vleck House.
• The Ritual of Exchange: Participate in moments of connection and reflection by exchanging handwritten wishes with a strangers
• A Taste of the Journey: Every guest receives a small traveling diary containing a message or wish from our global community to take home.

• The Experience: To ensure the comfort of our guests during the winter season, our signature "Campfire" takes place entirely indoors.
• Open to All: This event is open to the public ; no previous attendance or special invitation is required.
• Location: Guests should arrive directly at the Van Vleck House in Montclair
• Intimacy Guaranteed: Seating is strictly limited to maintain the raw, authentic, and "seen in the silence" atmosphere our community values.
• Refreshments: Seasonal drinks, and light bites are included with your ticket.

Don't miss this exclusive evening of global storytelling where these stories have crossed oceans and borders – now they're here to touch your heart in our most special setting yet.
