"Women Rowing North"

A Virtual Journaling Workshop with Robyn Nemes

This eight-week (Zoom) workshop will focus on growing resilience and balancing emotions as we age and experience life transitions, with special focus on self-care through these intense times. Women will create a journal that is theirs alone, a ‘sanctuary’ book to pick up when they need reminders of their strength or help with navigating tough emotions. Their journals will celebrate their unique voices and the beautiful benefits of aging such as wisdom, clarity, courage, moxie, and letting go of perfectionism.  

Registration fee for this workshop is $75, and includes a journal and a copy of Mary Pipher’s book, Women Rowing North. Call the bookstore at (904) 601-2118 to register.
