SUMMARY:June Poetluck featuring Julia Paganelli Marín
DESCRIPTION: Pour It Out: Writing Through Life’s Turning Points A virtual reflective writing workshop with Jalissa CarterThere’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\, she’ll guide you through the turning points you’ve been carrying around\, the ones that changed how you see yourself\, and help you find the words for them. 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. No pressure to share unless you want to. Just space to write honestly\, and maybe a sentence or two you’re proud of by the end. The Details When: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, 2:00–4:30 PM (CST)Where: Virtual\, live on ZoomCost: $40 per personWho it’s for: Beginners through seasoned writers. All you need is something to write with and an open mind.Group size: Limited to 20-25 participants for an intimate settingWhat to Expect We’ll open with a wine inspired warm up\, naming a “vintage” from your own life. From there\, two guided writing sessions dig into a meaningful chapter and the turning point at its center\, with breaks built in to stretch and reset. We’ll close with a short integration exercise and a final line to carry with you. Sharing is always optional. Witnessing\, not critiquing\, is the rule of the room. Meet Your Facilitator Jalissa Carter is a Fort Smith\, Arkansas based author\, poetry workshop facilitator\, and wellness practitioner who has spent over a decade helping women find their way back to their own voice through creative expression. She’s the author of six books\, including Wedlope: Wine-Infused Poems for Weddings & Elopements\, and founder of Wedlope\, a creative brand built around storytelling and reflective writing. She’s led programming with the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum\, facilitates virtual sessions through ShareWell\, and is preparing to bring her workshop series internationally to London. She’s also a certified Master Life Coach and WSET Level 1 Wine Professional. What Past Participants Have Said “This was a very well thought out session. I enjoyed Jalissa’s teaching and hosting style.“ “I love being challenged to write about new things\, thoughtful and deep things.” “This was a great group based on the ideas of narrative therapy\, and Jalissa did a great job leading us through a three prompt cycle.“ Ready to pour it out?
