Pour It Out: Writing Through Life’s Turning Points 

A VIRTUAL reflective writing workshop with Jalissa Carter

There’s a moment in every wine’s life when it stops being grapes and starts being something worth pouring. Jalissa Carter thinks our stories work the same way. In this two hour virtual workshop, you will be guided to reflect on some of the  “turning point” moments in your life, and get curious about the stories that live inside these defining moments. 

Using a wine inspired framework (think vintages, notes, and what develops over time), you’ll move through guided writing prompts designed to meet you exactly where you are. No previous writing experience required. There will be an optional time to share with the group in a safe and supportive environment.
