Join us for a dynamic character-writing workshop led by Judith Hertog, a writer and educator at Dartmouth College. In this session, you’ll learn how to write real characters that feel alive on the page—whether you’re building a short story, novel, or personal narrative. Perfect for writers of all levels who want to deepen their craft and spark new creative inspiration.
A message from Judith:
Writing The Other
In this two-hour workshop you will explore how to write a portrait of a person. We will read and analyze some examples from literature. Then, with empathy and compassion, you too will use words to create characters.
No prior writing experience is required; just an open mind and the courage to try.

Join us for an evening of deep connection, rhythmic release, and gentle restoration. This immersive experience weaves together the grounding power of live drumming, the soothing vibrations of sound healing, and the calming energy of Reiki to support relaxation, emotional balance, and inner clarity.
The steady beat of the drum invites you to drop out of your busy mind and into your body, creating a sense of presence and connection. Layered sound healing tones help calm the nervous system and guide you into a meditative state, while Reiki energy is offered to support natural healing, release tension, and restore energetic flow.
No prior experience is needed. This gathering is open to all who are seeking rest, reflection, and a deeper sense of harmony. Come as you are, bring a cozy blanket or mat, and allow yourself to be held by rhythm, sound, and stillness.
