The Path Less Traveled: An Online Writing Workshop
If you were giving a commencement speech tomorrow, what would you say? What advice would you give the graduates? Perhaps you would share some of the lessons you’ve learned throughout your journey.
Join us for a live online writing workshop as we reflect on the roads we’ve taken. The good, the bad and the super challenging.
During the workshop we will:
Participate in three activities designed to open our writing and reveal the stories we yearn to tell
Delve into our imagination to uncover key events from our pasts
Share our writing with a community of women writers
Once you complete the workshop, you will have the opportunity to:
Publish your travel experiences on Pink Pangea
Gain exposure for your writing
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. All participants will receive a recording of the workshop.
Date: May 14, 2023
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST
Location: Zoom
Cost: $12

Workshop Reviews
“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
“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
“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
