Retreat, Yourself: Library Writing Crawl — Mitchell Park Library

Join us for a unique writing experience where we make writing together easier!

Retreat, Yourself hosts free library crawls twice a month in the beautiful Bay Area. Each session takes place in a lovely library where fellow writers gather to create and inspire one another.

✨ Event Highlights:

• Zero Pressure: No teaching, no critique, no genre restrictions.
• Simply bring a project and engage with the community for motivation and accountability!

Morning Schedule:

• 10:00 AM — GATHER: A short read-aloud, quick hellos, and find your spot.
• 10:15 AM — THE LUDDITE HOUR: Phones away, Wi-Fi off, and pen on paper for one honest hour of writing.
• 11:15 AM — BREAK: Stretch, browse the stacks, and compare notes with fellow writers.
• 11:30 AM — OPEN WRITING: Keep going at your own pace and in any format you like.
• 1:00 PM — SCATTER: Stay as long as the library allows, or leave when you’re finished — nothing is mandatory.

What to Bring:

• A writing project (any genre, at any stage)
• A notebook and pen for the Luddite Hour
• A library card if you have one!

💰 Cost: Free! It will always be free. If you enjoy it, feel free to bring a writer friend next time.
