Wednesday Writers' Circle
Our weekly drop-in writing group for Mechanics' Institute members

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 - 11:00 am to 12:30 pm

Looking for a welcoming space to nurture your writing practice in community?

Join our Wednesday Writers' Circle, a weekly gathering open to writers of all genres and experience levels. Whether you're working on a novel, journaling, or just getting started, this is your time to gather with a community of writers and let your words flow.

We’ll begin each session at 11:00 am with a check-in and intention setting, followed by a brief three-minute meditation to ground our focus. Then, we’ll write together in quiet companionship for about an hour. In the final 15 minutes, we’ll share excerpts and reflect on our process—not for critique, but to celebrate what emerged and how it felt to write.

Bring a notebook, a laptop, or whatever helps your words flow. Just show up and write.

Facilitated by Dylan Tweney, a longtime writer, editor, mindfulness practitioner.
