July Group:
Write For Wellness— Community Drop In
The words we call up from inner depths, our reflections and musings, unearth self-discoveries. Writing, though an individual act, allows us to grow alongside each other. Write for Wellness is an online community space to join week after week or whenever you please—a gathering centered on generating and sharing creative writing while promoting mental wellness.
Our hour together will include an opening mindfulness based grounding exercise, free writes to get pens moving and bud inspiration, thoughtful writing prompts and opportunities to read what emerged for strength-based, encouraging feedback.
The writing branches of poetry, personal essay, letters and short fiction will be explored. If you’re looking for a low-cost, dynamic group that will build your writing confidence, produce new work and yield the benefits of routine expressive writing, join us around the virtual table!
Write for Wellness Community Drop-In
Pay nowGroups are currently on pause. Please check back for an updated schedule.
Almost anyone is a good fit for this group. If you’ve ever been curious about dabbling in writing or are seasoned in it, attending is a gentle opportunity to engage in the craft. It’s also a great setting to meet new people and share part of yourself with them through what you create, should you feel comfortable. With the flexible schedule and affordable price, the drop-in is aimed at being accessible to any adult.
If you’d like to join, you’re welcome to simply drop in virtually. Please have a pen and journal ready. If you have questions, email holly@quillcounsel.com or call at 360-670-0333.
The recommended contribution is $10. If you are facing financial hardship, you are welcome to attend regardless of what you can offer.

We will miss our time writing in the Chimacum Valley, but in our effort to limit in-person gatherings, we have gone virtual!
