The Writing Well invites writing for fun and inspiration. Each of us has a deep well of creativity and writing is one way to access the treasures from that well. A few places are still open for the fall program. “Writing alone, together,” we’ll meet on Zoom the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, September 8 through November 24, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time.

In The Writing Well sessions, we work with prompts to explore whatever is seeking your expression in the moment. We meet together in a safe space, hold one another’s confidentiality, and (if willing) take risks to share what we discover. Consistent practice can strengthen our creativity muscles and may promote healing, connection with self and others, and help improve craft and accountability. Sophia D. brings her experience as lay minister, spiritual director, and professional writer to these informal sessions, but promises there will be no critiquing or instruction.

Community members and allies are encouraged to attend.

This meeting will take place via Zoom. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link and access meeting details.
