Please note that Scrapyard has been postponed. Please join the interest list to be the first to know when registrations is open!

Scrapyard is using what has already been started. It’s a response guided by creative writing and mark making. Scrapyard is a space to share, process and be witnessed. We are curious about how writing and art making speak to one another, work together, and inform one another. Let’s explore how we can discover new possibilities as writers and artists when we explore the two forms in tandem.

A co-created, collaborative group offering conversation, collaboration and support for neurodivergent writers and artists.

I started turning my rejections into poetry as a way of making sure the publications that didn’t want my perfect, angel baby stories didn’t get to have have the last word.

In this workshop, you’ll be invited to use your own rejection letters as fodder for creating 3 different poems. (Black out poem, cut up poem and a Golden Shovel.)

There will be time for conversation about your relationship to rejection over the last year and for sharing your new creations.

Your writing and art can help you gain courage and calm from your emotional identity, so no one (including you) can make you feel like cr*p, instead of the star you are.

This is not your old man’s writing workshop.

It’s not your mama’s writing group.

It’s not another notebook on your shelf that you never open again after we wrap up.

Too Much and Not Enough is for folks who feel the urge to do something with and about all the things they’ve written, but aren’t sure what comes next.

Most people know that neurodivergent brains work differently from neurotypical ones, but it can be uncomfortable to talk about how our neurodivergence effects our creative lives, and to ask for our unique needs to be heard and met, when in community with other writers.

Creative Chaos is a place where neurodivergent writers can share experiences and learn from one another. No shame. No blame. No getting crapped on for lacking routine/focus/consistency. No mention of potential.

Almost all time that we live in today, the year, months, days, 24 hours in the day, the timezones, are all inventions of colonization.

In this workshop I'll share the stories I've learned about the history of time, and we'll work together on finding ease in our relationship to time through conversation and creative exploration.

This event is part of Session 2 of Small Brave Things Summer Camp.

Writers in Bloom founder Meg has been published, and rejected, many times, and she's fascinated by the process of creating new work that turns into something shiny and ready to share.

Part conversation, part information session this workshop will help you make your way through your own messy drafts. We’ll end with some first aid for artists because sometimes, writing hurts.

Intuitive Poemmaking is a creative process designed to help people from all walks of life make resonant poems from images, memory and fragments of language. Jaclyn will guide you as you dive into your own personal imaginal realm, collect the sparkly pieces you find there, and arrange them into poems you can feel from head to toe.

Welcome to camp!… Even if you registered ages ago, and now wonder what the heck you were thinking because you are very busy and exhausted and not sure you even want to do this at all.

Join Meg from Writers in Bloom for Too Tired for Camp for a gentle welcome to camp that guides participants through a series of writing invitations to reconnect you to yourself, your creativity and each other.

In this workshop, we’ll be dabbling in paper arts and crafting a miniature book. Then we’ll dive into a writing exercise to learn some simple techniques to condense a story into 14 tiny pages.

How do we know when a story (or poem, or essay or…) is done?

How do we take it from idea, to messy first draft to something polished enough to share?

Join Meg from Writers in Bloom to walk through the process of taking a piece of writing from “beginning” to “end”. We’ll discuss how to know when it’s time to put a piece of writing to bed, sending your writing into the world, & surviving the process without losing sleep.

Despite what you may have heard, writing does not have to be painful or hard. It can be a truly joyful experience and feel like you’re curling up to chat with your very best friend.
