If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or unsure how to express what you’re feeling—you’re not alone. This gentle, two-hour journal writing workshop offers a welcoming space for veterans, service members, and military family members to explore personal storytelling in a supportive, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. No writing experience is necessary, and sharing is always optional.

Whether you’re picking up a journal for the first time or returning after a break, you’ll be guided through thoughtfully crafted writing prompts designed to inspire clarity, creativity, and deeper self-awareness at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore how journaling can help you clear your mind, process life’s experiences, and reconnect with yourself. You’ll also discover strategies to create a personalized writing ritual that fits your lifestyle and cultivates a lasting journaling habit—one that nurtures resilience, personal growth, and self-discovery.

This workshop is more than just about writing—it’s about giving yourself permission to show up, reflect, and connect in a safe, uplifting community where you are valued just as you are. If you’ve ever felt stuck creatively or emotionally, let this experience be the spark that helps you find your voice again.

This class will be led by Kristen Fogle, Executive Director of San Diego Writers, Ink, who has spent over a decade creating safe spaces for creative expression. Kristen is a highly accomplished writing instructor, theater director, producer, and author, with four prompt-based writing books to her name, including two published with Rockridge Press in 2022. Her thoughtful guidance will help you feel encouraged, inspired, and supported throughout the experience.

You deserve to feel heard. Let’s explore your story together.
