Alexandra Oliva, author of THE RADIANT DARK, in conversation with Laurie Frankel (FAMILY FAMILY)

Brick & Mortar Books hosts a conversation as local author and Word Craft host Alexandra Oliva talks with fellow local author Laurie Frankel to celebrate the release of The Radiant Dark. Oliva’s novel begins in 1980 in a small Adirondack town, where new mother Carol Girard sees an unusual light in the sky that is identified as contact from intelligent life eleven light years away. Over the following decades, messages pass between worlds while Carol, her son Michael, and her daughter Ro grapple with shifting beliefs, personal ambitions, and the ties that hold their family together in the wake of a wider universe. Frankel, author of Family Family, offers a story about India Allwood, who grows from an awkward teenager into a Broadway standout and television superhero. When a prestige film about adoption leans on a tragic narrative, India speaks candidly as an adoptive parent and is thrust into a media frenzy while her ten-year-old twins turn to family for help. The novel examines how families take shape and why the truth is more complicated than simple ideas about blood or love. Preordering The Radiant Dark enters readers into a prize drawing. The grand prize is a hardcover annotated by the author along with a The Radiant Dark tote bag, and two additional winners will receive tote bags.

Presented by NWBS, this hands-on workshop with Catherine Haedrich focuses on Green Castle, a bead embroidery and freeform beading project built around a focal that echoes the shape of a handheld mirror. The design features a woman’s cabochon with a castle above and a sheep incorporated into the bezel, and the technique mix creates an organic result. It is geared toward beaders with some embroidery experience who want an approachable introduction to freeform work. Participants are asked to bezel key focal elements at home before class, then assemble the piece in class using freeform peyote and a spiral peyote neckband. The class takes place at Providence Point North Community Building. The fee is $65 for NWBS members and $95 for non-members. An optional $90 kit is available and is payable to Catherine on the day of class. The Green Castle stone cabochons are not included, and any sample images are for inspiration. Catherine will have some cabochon choices that suit the project, generally around 22 to 28 millimeters, and sizes or shapes can be adapted with decorative bezels and added elements. Students may also draw from their own stash for auxiliary focals. The kit provides a coordinated seed bead selection in sizes 15, 11, 10, and 8, plus accent bits such as chip beads and two hole cabs, along with materials to build the central picture cab and bezel, Delicas, filigrees, drops, backing, stiff felt, and plastic. Supplies for star shaped bead woven side cabs are included, as well as ivy leaf components and a simple lobster claw closure. The ivy leaves in the kit are gold toned brass stampings at about 14 millimeters, slightly larger than the 12 millimeter leaves in the original sample, with darker and brighter options available. Any repeated element that comes to a point can be substituted if preferred. Finished pieces will vary. Additional samples and small components may be available during class for inspiration. Those working exclusively from their stash are welcome, and sourcing early is recommended. Seed bead packs will be available to help with color planning and to fill gaps, and participants are asked not to pre mix their beads.

Harmonic Glowing presents the Kirkland Sound Gals for monthly sound bath meditations at their new home, Studio East Theater in Kirkland’s Houghton neighborhood.

The practice involves stillness rather than physical exercise and can help regulate the autonomic nervous system while encouraging connection with inner awareness. No experience is required. Guides Cinsy and Kat are professionally trained sound and vibrational practitioners and meditation teachers, certified in traditional Himalayan sound techniques through the accredited Atma Buti Sound and Vibrational School in Boulder, Colorado. Each session begins with a brief overview of the month’s theme and intentions, then unfolds into a therapeutic vibrational concert.

XL VIP Gravity Chairs offer slightly larger dimensions and a deeper recline with the same inclusions. A bring-your-own yoga mat option reserves floor space on a first-come, first-pick basis and includes a goody bag.

Green Issaquah: Miyawaki One-Year Anniversary Celebration

A community celebration marks the first year of Issaquah’s Miyawaki pocket forest with the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah. Over the past year, volunteers planted 880 trees and shrubs and held eleven work parties dedicated to weeding, mulching, and caring for the site. The gathering offers time to connect and recognize volunteer contributions, with cake and light refreshments. It also reflects ongoing progress toward the tree canopy goals outlined in the Issaquah Climate Action Plan and looks ahead to the future of this compact forest. Registration is not required, and street parking is available. To help reduce waste, bringing a reusable cup or mug is encouraged. The Miyawaki method, pioneered by botanist Akira Miyawaki, restores forest cover on degraded land by densely planting a diverse mix of native species to mirror natural regeneration. These small forests can establish quickly, often becoming largely self-sustaining after two to three years, and they can fit on sites as small as about 3 square meters. They have been shown to grow up to ten times faster than conventional plantings, reach around thirty times the density, and support as much as a hundred times the biodiversity. Beyond ecological benefits, the process strengthens local connection through hands-on community involvement from preparation and planting to early care. This celebration is supported by the Forterra Community Restoration Grant and the Foundation for Intelligent Life on Earth.

IN A LANDSCAPE: Mercer Island

IN A LANDSCAPE brings its 11th season to Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island, where close to a mile of Lake Washington shoreline frames the setting. Large areas of the park are purposefully left natural to protect wetlands and habitats that shelter diverse birdlife and native species. The grounds have a long story, beginning in 1890 as a private school centered on horticulture and hands-on study, later taking the name of horticulturist Luther Burbank. The State of Washington assumed control in 1957, the school moved in 1966, and the land gradually became a public park. The concert unfolds near Calkins Point Sand Beach, reached with a brief walk from parking along the lakeside path. Guests settle on the grass and the small beach, with room to spread out beside the water. In this touring series, natural landscapes replace the traditional concert hall across the American West, featuring pianist Hunter Noack performing on a 9 foot Steinway concert grand. Audience members listen through wireless headphones and may wander, letting the music accompany their experience outdoors. This gathering takes place on the ancestral homeland of the Duwamish and Suquamish peoples.
