WHAT IS THE INKWELL?

The name InkWELL has a two-fold meaning: depth and introspection. Reflective writing is a therapeutic experience that requires one to go deeper and write from their heart--their WELL or the center of their feelings and thoughts. The InkWELL takes pride in creating safe spaces to express emotions through guided writing activities. Think of the heart as the well and the pen as the bucket from which we pour. These writing activities are designed to encourage subsurface exploration.

Not only does The InkWELL represent an actual well, it also speaks to being well. 

The InkWELL seeks to help youth and young adults experience emotional, social, and spiritual wellness. When individuals are emotionally well, they have a sense of healing and stability. As individuals thrive socially, they can experience heightened self-awareness and a meaningful connection to the world around them. Lastly, spiritual wellness, or a system of faith, beliefs, and values can lead to confidence and self-love.

In short, The InkWELL helps us draw from our WELL and gives us the tools to be WELL.
