Emerging Writers' Fest Mindful Meets: Summmoning the Writer

11 Sep 2026 — 10AM - 12PM

A relaxed social gathering to begin EWF!

Enjoy some dedicated time for a creative reset centred around real conversation and connection; and leave with something that future you will love and appreciate!

Join us at the beginning of the festival for a relaxed social gathering, where you’ll have the chance to connect with others, reflect on your creative practice, and craft a written or artistic piece for your future self.

This is a phone-free space, so you can fully switch off and be present. Open to everyone, wherever you’re at in your creative journey. We’ll have basic writing and art materials ready, or feel free to bring your own.

Hosted by Ashley Misso and Emerging Writers' Festival.
