We will be spending some quality time with our inner child! In today’s slightly more unpredictable than usual times, It can get easy to neglect our inner child when society is so loud via TV and social media with all of the things we should be allowing to consume our minds. As children we naturally go towards what we enjoy and aren’t too afraid to try and explore. A lot of times we forget that sense of exploration and fun as adults. So for the writing workshop I’d like to begin with listing activities, shows, games, trips and other experiences we enjoyed as children. After formulating a list, I’d invite participants to share a thing or two from their lists.
7-9 p.m. | Open Mic & Feature Performance | Fireside Lounge
