Sag Harbor resident, Laura L. Rubin invites you to take a journey with her in our March Insight Sunday. Rubin will illuminate the creative process behind her soon to be published and highly anticipated book The Big Unlock: Liberate Your Creativity Through Mindful Journaling. How does a personal journaling practice lead to a career as a workshop builder? And how does that career then manifest as a path into the world of publishing? This very special Insight Sunday invites us to both learn about Rubin’s creativity and practice it: bring a notebook and a pen and get perspective into Rubin’s journaling approach with a few micro prompts. Rubin will share her experiences of listening to one’s authentic inner voice and having the courage to step into center-stage, and how Sag Harbor shaped her journey.

Copies of the book will be available for the first time to the public at the end of the discussion!

A special thank you to our collaborating community book sellers, Book Hampton, for joining us on this program.
