Viridian After Hours
✨ Viridian After Hours is a slow, ambient evening designed for quiet connection and unhurried presence. With no schedule and no pressure to participate, guests are invited to move at their own pace through cozy, optional activities: reading corners, letter writing, gentle tabletop games, reflective prompts, and collaborative creative stations. Come alone or with others, stay as long as you like, and simply exist together in a calm, book-filled space.
Some of the activities to explore:
📖 Reading Corner: Whether you’re a couple reading side-by-side, a solo guest wanting to get out of the house, or friends just wanting to be with one another, this is perfect for anyone looking to just curl up with their current read.
💌 The Letter Table: Have you read “The Correspondent” by Virginia Evans? Letters can serve so many purposes. We’ll have a small writing station with stationery and envelopes where you can write your heart out — perhaps it’s a letter to your past or future self, words to a friend (or foe!) you never got to say but are still on your mind, a note to the book that changed you, or something else, here’s your chance to write it out.
🎲 Games: Nothing competitive or loud — we’ll have two-player games, group games, and cards for you to cozy up with.
💬 The Conversation Starts Here: We’ll offer prompts like, “A book that felt like a warm hug or companion”, “A fictional world you want to live in” and more. Couples can flirt with them. Friends can spiral into discussion. Solo guests can ponder or journal instead.
📓 The Unfinished Story: Write a story with the community — one sentence at a time
and more! Come get lost in adventures meant to help you unwind and relax.
