Ink & Amen: Poetry Writing Workshop: Mothers Day Edition

What does it mean to feel at home in your own voice?

For many of us, writing is how we tell the truth, and community is where that truth finds its power. While movement and fitness ground the body, this space is dedicated to the release that happens on the page. Ink & Amen is a bi-monthly gathering designed to help you process, express, and connect. Whether you are a seasoned writer or picking up a pen for the first time, this room is for you.

Our inaugural workshop launches on Sunday, May 10th. We recognize that this day carries a lot of weight for some, it is a celebration; for others, it is a day of memory, complexity, or navigating the diverse textures of mothering in all its forms.

This room is a safe haven. There is no pressure to be "on" or to feel a certain way. Whether you are navigating joy, grief, or anything in between, you are invited to show up exactly as you are to:

• Free Your Mind: Find a safe haven for expression.
• Find Your Voice: Explore your truth in whatever way feels real to you.
• Build Together: Connect with a community of mothers, sisters, brothers, aunties, and friends as we release and hold space.

• When: Every 2nd and 4th Sunday, street parking available.
• Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
• Cost: All sessions are free.
• Location: Located in the heart of historic West Oakland.

We’re just getting started. 🌱 Come as you are, and let’s build together.
