Writing Together as Mothers: Oakland

This event is part of our nationwide Writing Together as Mothers mini retreats. If this isn't your hometown, check out all our regional retreats right here.

Join Scribente Maternum and other writer-moms for an entire day to write. We will spend time connecting and setting our intentions for the day, and then we will get writing! Just think - an entire day where you don't have to think about where your food or coffee is coming from, which tasks need to be accomplished, or who needs something from you. An entire day just to focus on you and your ideas. 

If you aren't at a place where you're working on a specific project and might need some inspiration, we will also have prompts available and the option for collaboration with writers in similar life or creative situations.

We are pleased to offer two free spots for writers of color. Just select "BIPOC Writer" when registering.

About the Space

We will retreat at Local Economy in Oakland, a community resilience hub. The space is supported by members who pay monthly dues that give them full access to the space when it is open, first dibs on event tickets, and a bundle of fun stuff. Those dues also help keep the space open and thriving for the larger community (such as ours!), so that programs can be accessible and inclusive.

A Note About Pricing

In an effort to make our events as accessible as possible, Scribente Maternum offers a tiered pricing model. While the actual value session is valued at the Partner level (and we strongly appreciate anyone who can register at that level!), any amount is accepted and any additional support is appreciated. Thank you!
