Our Last Enlightenment

November 1, 2025 was a special and meaningful night, marking our last Enlightenment Party. Friends, creators, and community members came together at the Mellow Mug Cafe to celebrate connection, creativity, and good energy in a space that has always been welcoming and inspiring.

I’m so thankful to Mellow Mug for always opening their doors and hearts to us, and to every person who shows up, whether you’re a vendor, a performer, or someone who just comes to hang out and connect. Your support means everything.

To my friends and fellow creators who help make these events happen, you are the soul of it. These gatherings are so special and sacred to me, and they will always be a safe space for everyone who walks through the door.

It all began in December of 2022 with the very first one, the Holiday Enlightenment, back when I had The Native Nook Art Gallery open.

I just want to say how much I’ve loved putting these on. It’s not over. We’re just moving into different things next year with new events.

Watching this video makes me a little emotional, seeing everyone come together for a picture, whether they were a vendor, a performer, or a friend hanging around while we packed up. I loved watching it grow and seeing everyone just here. Just together.
