🐇 WELCOME TO WONDERLAND. JUST TRY TO SURVIVE. ☠️

Join us for Banned in Wonderland at @gatherwith639 , an Alice in Wonderland inspired murder mystery where everyone gets a character, everyone has secrets, and one of you is the killer. 🫨🎩

Alice in Wonderland has a history of being banned and challenged, so we’re taking this classic story and giving it a deadly twist.

Whether you join us for our special dinner before we play or come just for the game only, there’s a place for you in Wonderland.

🎭 Costumes encouraged!

Net proceeds support The People’s Reading Grove!

Tickets are limited —> Link in bio.

WE DID IT!!! 🎉📚🌳

The People’s Reading Grove Kickstarter is officially 100% FUNDED! 🥹💗

Two weeks ago, we asked you to help us bring books, community & belonging to the heart of West Palm Beach, and YOU SHOWED UP. From every pledge to every share, text, DM, and word of encouragement, you helped turn this idea into something real.

And we’re not quite closing the book yet! 👀📖

Our Kickstarter is open through October 7, so if you’ve been waiting to back The Grove, there’s still time! You can also back us to snag some of our exclusive Kickstarter merch and rewards before they’re gone. 💕🌱

We’re so grateful to everyone who believed in The Grove before it even existed. This is just the beginning.

Thank you for helping us grow The Grove. 🌳📚

During this community discussion, we’re breaking down what matters to Millennials and Gen Z, what doesn’t, and how we want to show up for ourselves and our communities amidst the all overwhelm.

Featuring a special community art project & presentation by @artistsunderleaves to support our community members affected by 🧊.

Drinks & bites included, honesty required.

We love that this little corner of West Palm Beach already has a community! 🐶

But we think it can hold a little more. More books, more greenery, more conversations and more reasons to stay awhile.

The People’s Reading Grove is coming to Alexander Arts Park (with Sebastian the cat’s approval of course 😼) transforming this underused space into an outdoor bookstore and green gathering space.

And don’t worry the pups aren’t going anywhere! Help us create a welcoming space for all!

We’re 88% of the way there on our Kickstarter! Help us get to 100% this week! Click the link to check it out.
