Fantasy, horror, magical realism, folklore, and mythology...

In this writing workshop, let's cast spells with our words to change what we fear, resent, and ignore in our lives and in our worlds. We'll provide writing materials, though you are encouraged to bring your own if you'd like. This workshop includes time at the end to share your writing with others if you would like to.

Please wear warm clothing. We will have blankets to lie on and candles spread throughout the garden for lighting in addition the streetlights in the alley.

We will cap the group at 15 participants total to foster an intimate, immersive group environment. Please register on Eventbrite to make sure you have a spot!
