Join Holy Wisdom Monastery for a quarterly gathering that blends creative writing and mindfulness in a supportive, inclusive space. Whether you identify as a writer or simply enjoy exploring your inner voice, this group offers you a gentle rhythm of reflective writing (with optional prompts), sharing in community and contemplative practices like guided meditation and mindful walking outdoors, weather permitting.

Come as you are. No experience needed — just a willingness to pause, listen and write. You’ll leave with new words, insights, and connections.
