About this Event

Come as you are. Slow down, settle in, and let the words find you.

Join us for an afternoon of guided journaling at one of the East Bay's most unique and grounding spaces -- Melo Melo Kava Bar. Whether you've been journaling for years or haven't picked up a pen in months, this session is designed to help you drop into reflection with ease.

We'll move through a series of gentle prompts centered around presence, intention, and what you're ready to release or welcome in. The afternoon includes two timed writing sprints -- one at 2:15 pm and one at 3:05 pm -- with spacious pauses in between for sipping, breathing, and letting it all land.

No experience needed. No right answers.

Just you, your thoughts, and two hours of unhurried space.

Guests are asked to purchase at least one drink from Melo Melo during the event -- their kava, botanical elixirs, and non-alcoholic offerings are the perfect companion to an afternoon of reflection. Think of it as your ritual in a cup.

Journals and pens will be available, but feel free to bring your own if you have a favorite.

What to expect:

• Welcome + grounding moment
• Facilitated journaling with prompts
• Writing sprint #1 at 2:15 PM
• Writing sprint #2 at 3:05 PM
• Optional share-out (never required)
• Closing intention-setting

We'll start intros promptly at 2:00 PM. Consider arriving a few minutes early, which gives you time to get settled and order your drink before we begin.

This is a free-form, screen-free afternoon. Leave feeling lighter.
