About this Event
Make room for your story.
Presented by The Write Mind in collaboration with Wine Folks, Carried Forward is a restorative writing workshop offering time to slow down, reflect, and explore what you’re carrying—and what you hope to carry forward.
Whether you’re navigating change, processing a difficult season, or simply craving a thoughtful evening of creativity and connection, you’re welcome here.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• An opening centering prayer to settle into the evening.
• Three guided writing prompts inspired by a picture, a song, and a reflective question.
• Opportunities to connect and share, if you choose.
• A gentle grounding practice to close the evening.
This workshop is rooted in Christian faith and welcomes people of every belief. No writing experience is necessary. You may participate at your own comfort level, and sharing your writing is always optional.
