How to use these Notes

Welcome to Notes, our evolving record of what’s happening inside The Saunders Room — and why it matters.

The Saunders Room is more than a venue. It’s a container for conversations, experiments, shared rituals, and creative risk-taking. In these Notes, we capture some of what unfolds here: from behind-the-scenes looks at member offerings to reflections on space-holding, artistry, and community.

These aren’t “posts.” They’re field notes — traces of ideas that grew, questions that stayed with us, and small moments that meant something.

Pull up a chair. Let’s begin.
