Night Church

A Closing Message

Night Church began as a small circle of friends gathering in remote places to share music, art, and community beneath the stars. What started as something intimate quickly grew as word spread about the magic and renewal these nights could bring.

With growth, however, came challenges. The same openness and freedom it provided also made space for excess, ego, and conflict. The work of building these experiences became too heavy, while the sense of connection and purpose that once fueled them diminished. Attempts to rebuild in a more conscious and supportive way only led to more strain, disappointment, and damaged relationships that once were strong.

I want to pause here to acknowledge the impact of this project. If you were harmed or left feeling unseen, I am deeply sorry. To those who offered gratitude, respect, and love, you have my eternal thanks. Your presence and energy gave this project its spark, and for that I'll always be grateful.

Though Night Church proved in the end to be unsustainable, I know it once meant something real to many of us. For me, it was a creative outlet, a source of purpose, and a reminder of what is possible when people come together. I will never forget the nights when music, art, and community felt like pure magic.

Thank you for being part of it. I wish you luck on your own paths—and may you continue to find places that inspire connection, creativity, and joy.
