Wordplay: Creative Writing
Join us on a monthly basis for group exercises, solo reflections and big dreaming at Wordplay, a creative writing workshop brought to you by Treats.. This late morning to early afternoon session is a reclamation of words as a tool for delight. For generations, we have used words to share stories, express ourselves and build worlds we can only imagine. But something that’s been co-opted in the name of logistics, used at work to “promote synergy” and occasionally disappears all together with the use of emojis has lost a bit of its sparkle in our everyday practice. Meet us in the Zen Den to re-discover the joy and healthy challenge of dancing with language in community. No experience necessary! Expect an easy, open atmosphere and enjoy a mocktail on us upon arrival. All supplies will be provided.
