Events
Meg Max Makes events are held online or in person, in and around the Ottawa area. In the interest of accessibility, safety, and comfort I share as many details as possible in each event listing. Whenever possible, events are offered on a sliding scale. You can learn how to use the sliding scale, here.
Not sure if an event is the right fit for you? Have questions? I’d love to hear from you.

Too Tired For Words
Join Meg on Saturday, January 7 from 1pm-3pm EST on Zoom for Too Tired For Words , a gentle, generative online writing workshop for exhausted people.
What it is: Too Tired For Words was originally envisioned as a generative creative writing workshop for parents and caregivers. It evolved as the years have passed because… everyone is frigging exhausted.
Who is it for: Folks interested in writing through a gentle, generative writing practice focused on reflection and connection. People who might like to share their newly created words, and holding space for others to do the same.
What you can expect: A small group. (Max 12 people.) A welcome from Meg, a chance to intro yourself (with guidance,) creative writing invitations that are open to interpretation, quiet writing time, opportunities to share what you write, gentle and positive feedback if you want it. We take a short break about halfway through the session.
What we expect: This really is a “come as you are,” situation. Cameras on or off are fine. You can share in the chat, or out loud. You can not share at all. You can ask for responses to your work, or silence after you read. The vibe is cozy and gentle.
Supplies: Pen and paper, or whatever you like writing with. Headphones if you’re sharing space with others, to maintain privacy for folks sharing their work.
Cost: Sliding scale $25, $40, $55 CAD.
Please note that although this event is offered on a sliding scale, I acknowledge commodifying community and creativity is problematic. If the $25 access rate is not, in fact, accessible for you, I would love for you to join as my guest. No questions asked. Please reach out for a code to register without fee.
