Naked in the Now Workshop with Marijke McCandless

Join local author Marijke McCandless in the Readings Gallery for her Naked Writing Workshop (no clothing removal required!) that follows her book, Naked in the Now: Juicy Practices for Getting Present! 

In this mini workshop, we will dive into the natural beauty of our mind as we allow our written words to flow. This is a little different from other writing classes. I call it naked writing, others call it freewriting. Instead of facing a blank page and trying to share something we know, we will dive into the unknown. We let go of our inner critic along with our worries about punctuation, grammar and eloquence. When we let our words flow unfettered, without striving to perfect our words, we learn to trust our natural voice without effort.

Starts: August 09, 2025

Time: 2 - 3 p.m.

Admission: $6.24 - $21.54

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
