Writing & Wayfinding: Explorations in Language | Special Dual Offering

Special Note: This is a unique edition of Writing & Wayfinding, beginning at 5pm and concluding at 8pm. On this same evening, nextdoor in the tea house, we will be hosting our monthly Familiar Voices – our take on an open mic night, lovingly anchored and guided by our hosts. At the conclusion of the workshop, guests of Writing & Wayfinding will be invited to head down the hall to attend Familiar Voices, free of charge.

With this paired offering, we hope you will feel inspired to share your writing, support one another, and practice being witnessed in-progress. We hope you will join us!

”A writer’s life and work are not a gift to mankind; they are its necessity.“ - Toni Morrison, Peril

Language, in all forms, is one of our most powerful tools for shaping the world within and around us. It is an attempt to reach for and translate the truths we observe; the truths we wish to call in and create for ourselves and others. 

This space is for those who hold a reverence for language – whether through a tailored writing practice or a budding curiosity – to feel empowered to wield it through essay, poetry, song, and story for collective remembrance and re-imagination. 

In this space, you’ll be guided through Socratic Circle discussion, partnered ideation, and individual writing prompts. 

As an experience rooted in pleasure, play, and exploration, this gathering is an opportunity to give form to collective wisdom and to nurture self-expression. 

We hope you leave with seeds of inspiration, questions to explore further, and a deepened appreciation for the role of language in world-building and bridging.
