“The greatest thing you can do for yourself is to get to know yourself.” – Anonymous
Each of us has a story that’s uniquely our own. When we take the time to tell the stories that have shaped our lives, we are often left with new insights and a sense of freedom. We can understand our experiences from a different viewpoint, and open our minds to something we might not have been aware of before.
Join us for a live Zoom workshop as we connect with our souls, delve deep into past experiences, and express ourselves with the written word.
November 12, 2023 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT
During the online writing workshop we will:
- Participate in four innovative writing activities
- Gain a deeper understanding of what our we yearn to express by processing our experience on paper
- Discover what’s blocking us and tap into our innate ability to express ourselves
- Share our writing with a community of international women writers
After completing Pink Pangea workshops, participants have written for major publications, launched their own blogs, or continued to write in their journals. Others have simply enjoyed trying something new.

Pink Pangea Workshop Reviews
“This workshop helped me and lit an inner flame, especially as a writer whose passion lies in writing memoirs. Not only did I call both of my grandmothers after this workshop to ask them about life in their 20s, but I took an honest look at myself as my 20s are shortly coming to an end. Have I done enough, have I made my imprint on the world as a woman writer? Are there more stories I have to tell? Thank you, Pink Pangea, for another eye (and heart) opening writing workshop.” — Raquel Reyes
“I came out of it a different person than I went in…[Jaclyn] made us linger in our discomfort long enough to compel us to make a change. In fact, she had to relinquish control in order for it to be a catalyst. That’s a mark of a great teacher.” – Stephen Elliot
“The workshop provided a safe and inspiring space to think about my own writing, and hear from other travelers and writers. I came away with some concrete tools, and an idea or two for future pieces!” – Rachel Romesburg Rice
“Thanks for the thought-provoking writing workshop today! I needed to be reminded that to be a writer….we have to write, then write some more. Loved it!” – Sue G. Sparling Collins
“After finishing the workshop, I felt a sense of purpose and drive, as I knew the immediate steps I had to take to make my blog successful. A week later, that feeling has not faded in the slightest.”— Sydney Paulsen
