What we need as writers is a whole-brain approach to planning our year (and our writing projects) that is visual, flexible, doable, emotional and takes advantage of our strengths and tendencies. This two-hour class will show you how to do things a little differently so you are more focused, balanced, excited, hopeful, and committed to your goals in 2026. We’ll work through the complimentary year planner you will receive and put our plans down in writing to get a head start on the coming year. This is an interactive, hands-on, make-it-happen session that sets you up to create space for writing, visualize your success, and build a plan that pushes you past the things that may have held you back in previous years.

Join Museum educators for a special workshop inspired by the practice of sobremesa, cherished by artist Alfredo Castañeda. Sobremesa refers to the moments when a meal extends into lingering conversation, when guests talk, listen to music, and reflect on life and ideas. This workshop invites participants to gather in community, engage in both prompted and organic conversation, and take part in an art-making activity inspired by Castañeda’s work and practice. Poetry and storytelling, central to Castañeda’s sobremesas, will guide the flow of dialogue, sparking creativity and connection. The San Diego Museum of Art on Instagram and Facebook
