Write a Delight, Friday, January 23, 9:30 – 11:30, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Portland, ME. Discover how writing and mindfulness can open the door to joy. Inspired by Ross Gay’s invitation to “write a delight,” this workshop helps you recognize everyday wonders and transform them into creative expression. Through optional prompts, sitting meditation, and mindful movement, you’ll cultivate gratitude, presence, and a deeper connection to body, speech, and mind.

No writing or meditation experience is required — just curiosity and openness. Leave with fresh words, renewed awareness, and practical tools for weaving delight
into daily life. (Registration closed.)
