Saved by a Story Altadena Wildfire Survivor Community Writing Group

Come together in community to write about the cherished places we have been, what we have lost (and found), and how we will chart a way forward. Ignite your creativity, share your stories, and find connection in this non-judgmental and creative environment.

Participants ages 14 years and older welcome. Please arrive 5 or 10 minutes early to get settled, as we start the group promptly at 2 PM. Bring a notebook (nothing fancy) and a pen.

Please note this community writing group takes place at both the Altadena Community Center and the Bob Lucas Memorial Library. Please check the list below to see which location your meetup will take place at:
