Pen + Presence – Come write with us!
EARLY BIRD AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 24TH. Grab your spot today!
“It became the beginning of a book I never would have started otherwise.”
— Pen + Presence Participant
Do you feel the pull to write, but find it hard to do on your own? I so get it!
You’re in the right place.
We begin on August 20th, 2026.
Pen + Presence is a 10-week creative writing journey designed to help you slow down, tune in, and reconnect with your inner voice—without pressure, performance, or perfection.
This is not a traditional writing class.
It’s a space to be… and let creativity flow from there.
Over the course of 10 in-person gatherings, we’ll meet in a cozy, supportive circle to explore writing as a practice of presence, courage, and self-connection. You’ll be gently guided with prompts, but always encouraged to follow what feels most alive and aligned for you in the moment.
Some days you may write multiple pages.
Some days you may sit quietly and breathe.
Some days you may surprise yourself with what comes through.
All of you is welcome.
What This Experience Is
Pen + Presence is for anyone craving:
A consistent creative practice without pressure
A safe, supportive community
Permission to write imperfectly—or not at all
Space to reflect, explore, and play
A slower, more intuitive way of creating
Creativity takes courage—and it’s so much easier to feel brave in community.
“It has been such a gift to give myself time each week to just write and see what comes up…
Sometimes journal entries, sometimes poems or stories—and eventually, the beginning of a book I never would have started without it.”
— Pen + Presence Participant
What to Expect Each Session
Each 90-minute gathering follows a gentle, grounding flow:
Arrival + intention setting
Time to tune in and choose what form of expression feels right that day
Spacious, uninterrupted writing (or stillness)
Optional sharing and reflection
You are never required to share your writing.
Listening is participation. Presence is enough.
How You Can Express Yourself
You’re invited to explore creativity in whatever form feels most aligned:
Fiction or non-fiction stories
Poetry or song lyrics
Letters (to yourself, someone else, or a version of you)
Blog posts, scripts, or dialogues
Children’s stories or imagined futures
Journaling
There is no “right” way to do this.
Connection Between Sessions
We’ll stay connected through a private WhatsApp group throughout the entire journey, offering gentle encouragement and continuity—so even if you miss a session, you’re still part of the circle.

“Pen + Presence has been such a gift. Kristine leads with grace and creates a space where writing feels natural and supported. It gave me time each week to simply write and see what came up—sometimes journaling, sometimes poetry or short stories. Over time, it became the beginning of a book I never would have started without her. Highly recommend this class!”
— Pen + Presence Participant
Space is limited and the circle is intentionally kept small.

You don’t have to know what you’re creating yet.
