Upcoming

Join The Jane Club for a virtual writing retreat where you will expand your creativity into 2023. We will offer dedicated time and space for you to set aside your daily responsibilities to focus on writing through our expansive prompts. It will be a restorative getaway to reflect on your creativity, while also helping you productively engage with your writing.

Facilitated by Carmen Rios and Holly Payberg-Torroija. Stephanie Moberg will lead us through a meditation practice to spark our creativity before we begin our writing prompts.

February 26 2023, 10 am to 1 pm PT. Virtual. RSVP here.
