Hi hi! 🌸
As summer slowly slips into deep slumber, coming together to reflect and laugh and write can make the transition into fall a bit easier. Join us on September 21st for a writing workshop to reflect on the passing of summer and the welcoming of fall.
Workshop will be hosted by Nina Joon, who loves to marry pen and paper any chance she gets. Nina (hello hi it’s me!) writes to pass the time, to remember what has happened and to create fantasy futures that will magically appear before her eyes 👀
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED! Writing prompts will guide the session but any form of writing and sharing is welcomed :) Registration will be limited to 10 people to keep it intimate and give people enough time to share. Event will be outside the Pandora Park field house, weather permitting. Bring your fav journal and smooth pen or nothing at all and we can supply materials. 🪩
Please email [email protected] to register and share access needs.
We love you and can’t wait to see your inner world come off the page and dance together under the trees 🥹🫶🏽
