Nestled above Coffee Girl in the quiet sanctuary of Nordic Blue, we invite you to join Into the Blue—a weekly writing circle that weaves tea, poetry, and the gentle art of reflection. Here, amidst the soft coastal light and the hush of tide and air, participants gather to explore the landscapes of their heart and mind through words.

Each Thursday evening for the month of June, we move together through the simple ritual of tea meditation and guided writing prompts, creating a space that welcomes all voices and stories. This is more than a writing circle—it is a haven for your imagination and an invitation to the slow art of listening.

Melissa hosts these circles with care and reverence, offering a place where writing becomes a way of being—an act of presence, connection, and quiet transformation.

Bring a notebook, your favorite pen, cozy clothes, and a cushion or yoga mat for comfort. Sea air and warm tea provided.
