Why Pen to Paper at Drawing Room?
-
A chance to meditate, reflect, and create
We often start with a meditation meant to seamlessly transition you from the outside world to your presence at Drawing Room. We'll move into several writing prompts and exercises using the space, partners, and journals. Finally, we’ll dive deep into writing, using our vulnerability, language, comedy, poetry, and storytelling. We will end the class with a chance to share and socialize to connect deeper with the members of our writing community.
This workshop is excellent for solo writers or a fantastic way to connect with partners and friends!
