Feeling overwhelmed, alone, or stuck in your own head? You're not alone.
Join us for a free creative writing session where words become a path to healing. This workshop offers a safe and supportive space to explore emotions like anxiety and loneliness, and build resilience through guided prompts, storytelling, and self-expression.

What we will explore together✨

🌬️ Listening to Your Inner Voice – Through grounding and gentle reflection, tune into the thoughts and emotions that often go unspoken.

🖋️ Writing Without Rules – Let the words flow freely—no filters, no pressure, just you and the page.

💫 Healing Through Expression – Explore how storytelling can soothe, empower, and help make sense of difficult feelings.

🤝 Safe Space for Sharing – Share your writing (if you’d like!) and connect with others through honest, creative expression.

No writing experience needed—just come as you are.

Let’s write, feel, and heal—together. 🌱
