After a well received first gathering, Between the Tides returns with a relaxed meetup for women at The Brick on Trosper in Tumwater. This edition centers on creating a note from the shore, a simple postcard style reflection on what feels most like you right now, what you hope to invite more of, and what you want to remember about this moment. Participants will write a short message, roll it up, and place it in a message bottle to take home. Conversation leads the way and the creative project simply offers something enjoyable to do together at the table. The tone stays light, sharing is entirely optional, and the event is free. It is planned for about an hour and a half, with space to linger if chats keep going, and there is no expectation to stay for the full time. Food or drink can be enjoyed during the meetup.
