About the Event

By definition “to commune” is to come together. It is comforting to know that there exists a word for this desire to be with one another; it is also comforting to know that by sharing our words we possess the power to comfort one another. Known as Communals, these gatherings will be a mixture of generative writing and storytelling, held at the storied art institution, Pen + Brush, located in the Flatiron neighborhood of New York City. Our mission is two-fold: to bring together like-minded communities, each of us focused on the creation of art and the celebration of our personal journeys, and to create a home base for writers in New York City. In hosting Communals and future events, our goal is to establish everyone who attends our events as writers. Whether you are a scribbler, a diarist, a poet, or a novelist – you are a writer who is welcome within our community. Communals are where we share words, share stories, and share dreams all with the sole purpose of offering a bit of that solace we’re each looking for. Communals are a reminder of our shared power. Join us each month as we not only feature a phenomenal writer—but also feature a phenomenal you.

 

What to bring to Communals?

A pen and notebook, a laptop, a tablet: whatever you use to write is welcome

– Bring an open heart and mind

Prepare for a generative and socially creative evening: Communals is where we will be writing with one another, but also conversing and sharing with one another

We welcome and celebrate you as you are, and hope you will do the same for your fellow writers
