gatherings
A room, a prompt, a little time set aside — and the reminder that we're people. Come as you are.

Write Now! at The Sea Ranch Lodge
Saturday, May 9 • 3–5 PM
Write Now! is one of the cornerstones of Write Up The Coast—bringing people back to people again, one story at a time.
We'll write together using a few gentle prompts, settle into the quiet, and discover our hidden stories—followed by optional sharing (no pressure, ever).
Notebooks and pens are welcome, but all you really need is your curiosity.
And if you've heard about Write Now! for a while… isn't it time you experienced it?
All welcome. Bring a friend.
Write Now!
Monthly — exclusive to The Sea Ranch Lodge
A welcoming community writing gathering at a world-class destination on the Northern California coast, offered at no charge. First-timers, visitors, and returning writers are all part of the circle. Come as you are — I'll put a prompt in the room and we'll see what arrives.

The Write Hike
A monthly outdoor walk with a creative twist. We explore the trails, pausing to notice, reflect, and write as the landscape guides us. The experience often leads to unexpected inspiration.
We close with time to write and an optional share. Each participant receives a notebook and pen.
Guided by Mark Sanford Gross. No experience needed.
