Attend all four\, and you’ll be entered into a raffle for a free writing class sampler!\n\n“This series is an invitation to breathe\, reflect\, and write at a gentler pace\,” says organizer \nJennifer Wolfe. “We’re honoring what’s possible when we slow down—in bookstores\, in community\, and on the page.” \nEvent Schedule & Themes: \nApril 5 – Slow Beginnings \n\nEmbrace the beauty of starting slow with mindful writing and gentle prompts.\nSan Marco Books and More\, 11–1 p.m. – Facilitator: Karen Allen\nHappy Medium Books and Café\, 3–5 p.m. – Facilitator: Jennifer Wolfe\n\nApril 12 – Leaving a Trail \n\nWhat stories do we leave behind?
