Ida’s @ West Collingswood Train Station
3010 Lynne Avenue, Oaklyn, United States
While a permanent location for Ida’s Bookshop is still unfolding, we’ve been invited by a friend to use her home for our work to continue. Our next literary installation is called-- Shut Up & Write @ Ida’s Train Station.
Led by Jeannine A. Cook, the series is named after her forthcoming memoir, Shut Up & Write. This series is about writing together, in a shared communal space, but in focused silence—so we finally get to The End of our current works in progress.
Studies show that expressive writing can have the same effects on our brains as prayer and meditation--improving mood, regulating emotions, and boosting our immune systems. Therefore we've designed a place for folks to shut up and write--together.
Each session will include:
A super short literary discussion
Intense social silence
Indoor & outdoor writing spaces
Time to share and listen
