Join us at Nowhere Bookshop for an evening with Karen Walrond, the award winning author of The Lightmaker's Manifesto and Radiant Rebellion. Resist grind culture and discover the joy of dabbling with her new book In Defense of Dabbling.

“A ringing endorsement for being just okay at stuff” — The Atlantic

About In Defense of Dabbling: The Brilliance of Being a Total Amateur: In today's grind culture, hobbies become side hustles. Work creeps into leisure time. Perfectionism reigns. We look up to experts, and we look down on amateurs. And when someone asks us what we like to do, we realize we have absolutely no idea.

But amateur just means "one who loves." So what if being a total amateur is actually a good thing? What if we've been so focused on achieving that we have forgotten how to be interesting?

In her new book, Karen Walrond strikes out to discover the things she loves that demand no excellence--just desire. As she cultivates practices and rituals, without any expectation of success or accolades, she shows us how to do the same. And she helps us learn Seven Attributes of Intentional Amateurism: curiosity, mindfulness, self-compassion, play, zone-stretching, connection, and awe.

A Story That Demands to Be Told
In the confined space of a classroom, two women face an impossible truth: a fifth-grader has taken his own life. What unfolds is a gripping parent-teacher conference unlike any other, where a grieving mother and a tormented educator search desperately for answers. Was young Gidion a victim of cruel bullying, or did he inflict pain on others? As layers of truth peel away, both women must confront devastating questions about responsibility, forgiveness, and the price of understanding.
"This production doesn't just tell a story – it creates a space for profound human connection," explains actor and producer Chelsea Steele. "Every night, our audiences leave transformed by what they've witnessed."
