Seven Swimming Pools

Seven sessions. Seven themes. Low stakes.

It’s almost summer and the pool is open.

This season we’re bringing back one of our most popular programs from last year. The idea is simple — we are seven facilitators, each with our own approach to writing. We’ll curate seven online evening workshops, devoted to the things we care about most, one each.

This is a space for fresh ideas, big questions, and finding new paths back to the heart of our work. We’ll lower the bar, write lots, and let ourselves see what this summer is shoring up our creative lives.

Here’s the plan:

We’ll gather on Zoom seven times on Monday evenings. We’ll use short, easy writing prompts and projects to help you create brand new work. You’ll have lots of choice with the prompts and full control over where the writing goes. You can turn the tap of emotion on full blast or keep it as a trickle.

We deeply encourage you not to perform or perfect anything here. Let’s be weird, unfocused, surprising, and new. Pajamas, bath robes, sweats, and slippers are very welcome.
