About Event

Bring your journal, a blanket, and come write with us in Golden Gate Park ✍️

Journal in the Park is a relaxed outdoor journaling session - a chance to slow down, get something out of your head and onto the page, and connect with other people who are building a writing or reflection practice.


How it works

There are two ways to show up, both are completely welcome in the same space:

Free write - no prompt, no agenda, just you and whatever's on your mind

Prompted - we'll share an optional prompt at the start for anyone who wants a place to begin

After the journaling hour, we break into small groups to share — not to read aloud verbatim, but to reflect on what came up, what you noticed, what you're sitting with. No pressure to share anything specific.


What to bring

→ A journal or notebook and a pen

→ A blanket or something to sit on

→ A jacket — Golden Gate Park can get windy in June

→ Snacks if you like


Timeline

Time What's happening
3:00pm Arrive, get settled

Who's this for?

Anyone who wants to build a journaling or reflection practice, or who just needs an afternoon to write. You don't need to be a writer, you just need a journal and somewhere to sit.


A note on RSVPs and the waitlist 🙏

We manage capacity so everyone who comes has a good experience:

  • If you're on the waitlist, please wait for your approval before heading over. We open spots as they become available and you'll get an email when you're in.

  • If your plans change, please update your RSVP, it means someone on the waitlist gets your spot. We really appreciate it 🫶
