The Penning Parenthood Sessions

$0.00

As they say, the days are long, but the years are short—and somehow there never seems to be enough time to write down everything that happens along the way.

 

If you’re in need of some creative catharsis and a chance to tell your stories, join Creative Groove and Everwell for The Penning Parenthood Sessions! We’re offering a free introductory workshop on Thursday, May 16, from 8-9:30 p.m. EST with the goal of providing a fun and welcoming space for moms at all ages and stages to capture their experience on the page.

 

Not a writer? No problem. Co-facilitators (and moms!) Jen Jones Donatelli and Lindsay Hurty will lead the group through a series of journaling prompts, breakout discussions and other exercises designed for creative catharsis and connection. (Learn more about Jen and Lindsay in the section below.)

 

Part writing lounge, part workshop, consider Penning Parenthood more of a gathering than a class—and the perfect opportunity to put your pen in motion and explore your experience of parenthood for posterity.

 

So what are you waiting for? Sign up for free and plan to join us on Thursday 5/16…hope to see you there!
