Explore mindfulness-based writing using fun prompts to collectively inspire and deepen your intuitive expression. Participants in this one-session creative writing workshop will be inspired by a series of short, in-class prompts with a poem and pictures. The aim is to boost creativity and deepen each participant’s intuitive expression through contemplative practices. We will start this workshop with a brief mindfulness settling-in exercise—and a poem to accompany the session’s theme. And after each writing prompt, participants will be encouraged to discuss their work in small groups. This intuitive creation process is highly motivating; it enhances self-awareness and the flow of ideas and connection with others. As a creative-writing teacher and published author since 2007, and a trained mindfulness teacher since 2017, I enjoy fostering unique and brave spaces for participants to gather from all backgrounds and walks of life. This course is designed for every type of writer: novelists, poets, screenwriters, playwrights, journalists, essayists, etc., with all levels of experience: from novice writers to seasoned authors. We will focus on the collective inspiration derived from a fresh series of fun and original writing prompts. Just bring a pen and notebook to our online class… And come as you are!

From Oct. 1 through Nov. 28, Nintendo of America and the San Diego Zoo invite explorers of all ages to join the search for these new guests: the small, plantlike creatures of the Pikmin game series, available on the Nintendo Switch family of systems. In this adventure and puzzle-solving series, Pikmin are found in dirt patches, in blades of grass and with the unusual critters that share the world around them — and the Pikmin themselves come in different types, from the fire-resistant Red Pikmin (like the one above) to the Blue Pikmin that can swim. And just like in the Pikmin series of games, kids will be encouraged to grow, gather and guide: grow in their appreciation for the natural world around them, gather pictures and memories of Pikmin in the Zoo, and guide their friends and family through exciting themed locations throughout Wildlife Explorers Basecamp. Pikmin are loyal, curious creatures that can help guide your expedition around Wildlife Explorers Basecamp. Here are some ways to make the most of your visit: • Consider visiting in October. The San Diego Zoo celebrates Kids Free Month from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31 by offering children 11 and under free admission with a paid adult ticket. • Guests visiting any weekend from Oct. 1 through Nov. 24 are encouraged to visit the Pikmin pop-up tent near Spineless Marvels to check in at the My Nintendo kiosk and receive 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points*, redeemable on my.nintendo.com for exclusive digital and physical rewards. Guests are also eligible to receive a Nintendo goodie bag at the pop-up tent after completing a set task, such as photographing a Pikmin in the Zoo! For more information about how and when you can start your Pikmin search, visit pikmin.nintendo.com/en/news or head over to the San Diego Zoo official site at https://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/tickets. *A Nintendo account is required to receive and redeem points.
