  • Expand your gift for prose to writing fiction from your own life experiences. Craft epics tales of good fiction that slightly drift from “just the facts, ma’am” while getting feedback from other writers as well as your instructor. During each prompt in this three-hour event, participants will unveil layers of wordsmithing prowess by writing vignettes of memory based on life’s experiences, everlasting encounters (good and bad), people and places you vividly recall, and so forth. Transform each memoir into a respectfully reconstructed piece of fiction not confined by autobiographical ‘fact.’ Open to beginners as well as the more experienced writers.

  • Tired of giving soap or socks to honor the father(s) in your life? Make a personal card to honor your father(s) and gift it! In this workshop, we use tarot cards to explore fatherhood’s energy. We will celebrate our relationship to fathers and fatherhood through writing and a collage project, with room to explore challenging connections and what we’ve learned from them, including looking at connections forged with chosen family as well as blood family. The simple tarot journaling process we will use will help you discover and uncover your connection to fathering energy and how it can best nurture you. And if you wish, create personal tarot card art you can keep for yourself (your Inner Father) or a card for your actual father or person who fathered you. Bring an open heart, paper and pencil, and some photos of the father you are honoring (photos of you or your father(s)), and any images you feel express the gifts and lessons of that relationship. Please feel free to bring your own tarot deck(s) though your instructor will provide a variety of tarot images. Remember you can point the arrow of this inquiry towards your own father, or towards yourself in the role you play with your children or those you parent. All perspectives and experiences welcome; no prior writing or tarot experience necessary. Comes with a PDF for continuing your exploration on your own. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

About the Host: Hi, I’m Josie Anderson—In 2023, I hit a breaking point. Burnt out from work, drowning in daily expectations, and overwhelmed by the mental load of motherhood, I found myself asking: “Is this really how life is supposed to feel?” That moment became my wake-up call. Since then, I’ve been on a mission—alongside the inspiring speakers and sponsors of this event—to support moms who feel stuck, unseen, and stretched too thin. You are not alone. This space was created for you. This event is a celebration, yes—but it’s also a safe, soulful space to talk about the real journey of motherhood. To be vulnerable. To be heard. And to rediscover the joy, clarity, and fulfillment you deeply deserve. There’s a life beyond burnout—one full of alignment, self-love, and freedom you can’t yet imagine. My prayer is that this event plants a seed of hope and reminds you of how powerful and worthy you already are. I can’t wait to welcome you in. https://thedivineselfbyjosieanderson.com/
