Join Chelene Knight, award-winning author and founder of Breathing Space Creative Studio, for a transformative in-person workshop that could change the way you live and write.

For one special evening, Chelene brings her renowned Say No With Love Workshop to our studio. This offering is for writers who want to set nourishing boundaries, protect their creative energy, and shape a writing life they want to return to — again and again. No two creative lives look the same, and this workshop invites you to look closely at your life, your season, and your needs.

Through reflective writing, discussion, and the 7-step Say No With Love process, we’ll gently surface limiting beliefs (like “I don’t have time to write” or “I can’t give time to things that don’t pay me”) and explore how they shape your day-to-day choices. You’ll leave with your own Say No With Love Map — a simple, personalized tool that acts as a filter for decisions, helps you prioritize with clarity, and guides how you want to show up in both your writing life and beyond. Whether you are a brand new writer or a seasoned one, the only prerequisites are an open mind and a desire to create more space for creativity.

To support our non-profit programming and to help us cover costs, this workshop is $10. If you are experiencing barriers to attend, please reach out over email — we are happy to provide you with one of our reserved free-by-donation tickets. We have very limited seating and spots go quickly, so please reserve your place here!
