About this Event

Heart on Paper:
Dishing it Up — food as a doorway into sensory, personal writing.

The taste that takes you somewhere before you've had time to think.The smell that fills a room and suddenly you're eight years old again, or far from home, or back at a table you thought you'd forgotten.Food carries things we didn't know we were still holding — a flavor, a dish that arrives and brings an entire world with it: a person, a season, a version of yourself you haven't visited in a while.

This month at Heart on Paper, we're gathering around the table. We'll use food — its textures, its history, its remarkable power to carry meaning — as a way into writing that's sensory, personal, and surprisingly alive.

Come hungry for words.

No writing experience needed. Just a notebook, a pen, and an appetite for what the page might offer.

What to expect:

  • Thoughtful and imaginative journaling prompts
  • A warm, welcoming space and supportive writers around you
  • Time to reconnect with yourself through writing, stillness, and presence

Facilitated by:

Janine Grossmann and Laura Paradise – two certified coaches who believe in the power of words, self-trust, and the heart’s quiet guidance.
