POETS & WRITERS SERIES
Do you love to write? Join us for the Carbondale Branch Library Poets & Writers Series. Sit together and engage in writing prompts and storytelling. This series celebrates the connection to the wilderness of yourself, each other, words, and wonder. How and what you contribute is up to you. Bring a journal, your curious heart, as well as water and a snack if you wish to. Write on!

ROOTED IN WRITING SERIES
A warm, monthly gathering in the intimate space of White River Books in Carbondale, Colorado where we come together to root ourselves in reflection through storytelling and journaling. With prompts and meaningful stories, we will explore our beliefs, feelings, empowered actions, sense of belonging, and collective spirit for ourselves, our community and the world. This is an invitation to slow down, connect, and find stillness and clarity in the act of writing together. Bring your journal and a pen. Donations are optional. Led by Jessica Amber Barnum and Izzy Stringham

SACRED CONNECTION SERIES
Step into a nourishing space where energy, movement, sound, and words come together to restore your sense of connection — to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. Each session blends gentle yoga, Reiki energy healing, immersive sound bath frequencies, and guided journaling to help you open your heart, listen to the wisdom within, nourish connection, and relax. This series is perfect for anyone seeking inner clarity, energetic renewal, or a deeper sense of belonging. Bring a journal, water, yoga mat, blanket, and anything else to help you feel comfortable lying down or sitting in a chair to experience the flow of Reiki and sound.
