About the session
I keep scrolling for answers. None come.

When I get frustrated with scrolling, I write.

I write out my anger. I write out my grief. I write out my fears. I write out my confusion. I write out my guilt. I write out my complicity. I write out my realizations.

So, I thought someone else might like to write, too. And we could hold this space to write together.

Maybe your writing will lead you to further action, but we set no expectation in this space. The point of this time is simply about the feelings. The writing + journaling. The grieving. The remembering. The honoring. The holding of space with one another.

AGENDA
You're invited to join me for some reflecting, connecting and independent writing/journaling on the topic of your choosing. Content will focus on grief, gun violence, systemic injustice, LGBTQ+ equality, healing and more.

You will NOT be required to share or participate verbally during the session. There will be some reading and writing prompts provided.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The time is specifically dedicated to those who have lost their lives to gun violence and topics will include explicit mention of gun violence and mass shootings.

You may choose to write and reflect on any topic of your choosing, of course.
