Looking for a safe space to disconnect from the overstimulating world of social media?

A place to share your real feelings? Whether you’re an experienced writer or picking up the pen for the very first time, this workshop is for you! Join us as we touch paper and turn worry into written words.

In this free one-day workshop, teens will focus on using writing as a way to get it all out. We’ll start with an introduction to creative journaling and learn how it can promote positive mental health. Then we’ll put pen to paper and play on the page! All youth writers will have an opportunity to share their writing with an audience.

We will offer the same workshop simultaneously–online and in-person. Teens aged 13-19 are encouraged to register for one of the workshops. All participating youth are invited to celebrate their writing in-person with family and friends the following day. Light refreshments will be served.

 *For participants attending in-person at Gemini Ink, supplies and snacks will be provided.

*For participants attending online via Zoom, supply kits will be available for pick up at Gemini Ink prior to the workshop. We will also provide a list of suggested supplies to gather from around the house.

 Youth writers will leave this workshop series with:

  • At least one new piece of writing
  • Ways to use writing for coping and resiliency
  • Tools & exercises to keep writing at home

Seating is limited, please register.
