Tapping the Well: Playful Writing Prompts for the Imagination

Writing and art making can enhance our wellbeing in a variety of ways.  This free workshop geared towards adults (18+) is led by Glynis Wilson Boultbee, a multi-disciplinary artist and facilitator with an MA in English. She will introduce you to some playful writing exercise that may be used to invite insight and fun.  You will also take away directions about how to make your own well of inspiration (no writing or art making experience necessary). Tap into your imagination and find new avenues to creative exploration!  Preregistration is required; using course code 38812 in Look'nBook.

Date: Thursday, September 11, 2025
Location: 5205 48 Ave. Mosaic Room, Level 300, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
