Join local poet, author, and activist Erica Settino for an intimate event drawing from her poetry chapbook, The Life Forest, a collection exploring her late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, reverence for nature, and the wild roots of creativity. 

The gathering will be conversational, educational, and experiential.

We’ll begin with selected readings and an honest discussion about neurodivergence, identity, and reclaiming creativity as a means of personal expression later in life. Then we’ll move into a gentle, guided mindful arts workshop where you’ll be invited to create from your own inner landscape—no artistic experience required.
