Join us for the inaugural gathering of the **Creative & Resilient Voices NYC Literary Salon**, a community for women who love books, writing, thoughtful conversation, and the power of stories to help us understand ourselves and the world around us.

Created especially with women 40+ in mind, the salon welcomes adult women of all ages who are drawn to literature, creativity, reflection, connection, and meaningful conversation.
For our first gathering, we’ll come together for a relaxed morning of literary conversation, guided reflection, writing, and connection. Rather than beginning with an assigned book, this opening salon will introduce the spirit of the community and give us an opportunity to get to know one another.

How do the books we read, the experiences we live, and the stories we tell shape who we are and how we see what is possible?
The gathering will include a short literary reading, facilitated conversation, and a guided writing invitation. Portions of the writing experience will draw on the Amherst Writers & Artists method, creating a supportive and inclusive space where participants can write from prompts, share their work if they choose, and respond to one another’s writing with encouragement and respect.

No writing experience is necessary. You do not need to consider yourself a writer to participate. Readers, journalers, emerging writers, lifelong writers, and women who simply love books and ideas are all welcome.

Come ready to slow down for a couple of hours, meet thoughtful women, engage with words and ideas, and help us begin shaping a new literary community.

Additional gathering details, including format and participation information, will be shared with registered attendees.
