About the event
Join us for a free, unique poetry writing workshop in honor of Minority Mental Health Month—held in the lively space of RISE at The Salt Shed. This guided experience will explore the powerful intersection of creative expression, mental wellness, and cultural identity.
This workshop will be led by Tobalase Apata, a local poet and community wellness enthusiast. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just beginning, come as you are—no experience needed. Together, we’ll use poetry as a tool for connection, and transcendence. To close out the workshop, there’ll be a meditation exercise to send you home feeling refreshed.
Enjoy the soothing effects of the BEBOE gummies and SEÑORITA drink samples from RISE dispensary, curated to support relaxation and creativity.
