Writing is a powerful tool for the betterment of individuals, families, organizations, communities, and beyond. It allows us the space to reflect, think, celebrate, and perhaps consider necessary changes. In a culture where busy is oftentimes seen as best, writing invites us to a slower pace where we can find our footing and fresh perspectives. This gathering is an opportunity to engage in the practice of writing alongside others. Participants will have opportunities to engage in a writing activity and work on some writing of their own. No expertise required.

During a gathering, we will take time for the following…

• Socialize and snack!
• Learn a writing practice OR read a short written piece
• Engage in a writing practice OR discuss the written piece
• Progress on a personal or professional writing project of one’s own

“All people are writers who can, if they so desire, claim their writing as a personal (and perhaps public) art form.” –Pat Schneider
