Write the Mission - Writing Workshop

Join us for a one-of-a-kind creative writing experience inspired by Dr. Nandita Dinesh’s acclaimed works and .

This dynamic workshop invites participants to engage deeply with the Mission District through guided writing prompts, sensory exploration of the neighborhood, and reflective storytelling. We'll start with warm-up exercises to spark curiosity and build creative momentum, then venture into the streets surrounding Manny's to draw inspiration from the colors, sounds, and spirit of the surrounding blocks. Returning to Manny’s, we’ll write and share pieces that honor place, imagination, and community. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or simply curious, this workshop offers a powerful way to see, and write, the world anew.

Open to participants 18+
