Rediscover the beauty and meaning of putting pen to paper. Inspired by Barbara Josselsohn’s The Paper House, this creative writing workshop invites you to slow down, reflect, and explore the power of a handwritten letter.
In The Paper House, Kayla returns to the island home of her Great Aunt Tilly and reopens the magical stationery shop where people once wrote letters to those they had lost, missed, or needed to forgive. As Kayla reconnects with the shop and its history, she discovers that putting words on paper can be a way to remember, heal, and find yourself again.
Drawing inspiration from the themes of the novel, you’ll be guided through thoughtful prompts and creative exercises designed to inspire authentic connection. Write a note of gratitude, a message to a loved one, a reflection for your future self, or simply rediscover the joy of handwritten correspondence.
Each participant will leave with a beautifully handwritten letter, a copy of The Paper House, and a packet of stationery to continue the practice of meaningful letter writing long after the workshop ends.
Tea, coffee, and light snacks will be served.
