Join poet and contemplative arts teacher Ellen White Rook for a special writing workshop!

Following poet and writer Ross Gay's invitation, the workshop will begin with a "write a delight" exercise, focusing on appreciating the simple joys and wonders around us. We'll then embark on a journey of exploration through a variety of optional prompts designed to spark gratitude and appreciation for the world we inhabit. The evening will unfold in a supportive environment, offering opportunities to connect with body, speech, and mind through sitting meditation and mindful movement.

Sliding Scale $20-40 via cash, Venmo @maya-rook, or card when you pay online.
