Past Events

Let’s Write Together! with Sara duPont

Monday, May 4, 12PM, Google Hangouts, non-members welcome

Feeling anxious? Adrift? Disconnected from your purpose? Or just losing track of the days? Join us for a writing workshop designed to ground you in your values and strengths and re-align you with your “why”. Bring your notebook and favorite pen. You’ll be guided through writing exercises that cultivate emotional wellness and strengthen your sense of identity. The goal is to get you thinking about how to stay true to your purpose (or get back to it) within our new normal. 

The material is adapted from a writing class to help students build intentionality (rather than stress) into college essay writing. This workshop is aimed at adults and teens alike.

Sara duPont is a social-emotional learning facilitator, college counselor, and founder of The Mindful Applicant.
