Are you struggling to carve out time to write that novel, screenplay, or other work of fiction you've always been meaning to write? Are you battling writer's block? Are you looking for people to read what you've written and provide feedback? Try Pen Pals, an all-experience-levels-welcome group for fiction writers and fiction writer hopefuls!

Once a week, bring in a laptop or notebook and surround yourself with other writers striving toward similar goals. The first hour will be dedicated to organizing feedback-swaps, discussing our projects, and collectively brainstorming solutions to story problems. The remaining hour and a half is just for writing! Pen Pals is captained by local fanfiction author Linea Kemsley, who will provide baked goods and warm beverages every week to help promote that perfect cozy writing atmosphere.

Monday, Aug 19, 2024, 6:30pm to 7:30pm

If you are looking for a way to connect to nature on a different level, you're in the right place! Alex will discuss the benefits of sound baths and participants will have a 25-minute sound bath from Earthly Temptation’s Sarah Branch. Afterwards we will take a moment to notice the natural soundscapes around us and how to tap into the sound bath of nature.

Patrons are encouraged to bring their own blankets, yoga mats, or chairs to enjoy the sound bath.
