Writing as Remedy workshops at Wellspring Vitality invite you into a supportive, creative space where storytelling becomes a tool for healing, reflection, and connection. Through friendly prompts and shared presence, we use words to process what’s been held, honor lived experience, and remember that we don’t heal alone. No writing experience needed, just a willingness to show up and explore.

"One of the best emotional mediums in the field of solo guitar" - Pitchfork

Back for her second performance at the Bross!

Hailed by The New Yorker as "one of the most distinctive guitar players of her generation", Portland, Oregon based Marisa Anderson channels the history of the guitar and stretches the boundaries of tradition. With six solo albums and a rich history of collaboration with artists including drummer Jim White of Dirty Three fame, guitarist William Tyler, Sharon Van Etten, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Big Brave, she is a sought-after collaborator and composer.

Her work has been featured in Billboard, Rolling Stone, NPR, SPIN, Pitchfork, the BBC and The Wire. Festival appearances include Big Ears, Pitchfork Midwinter, Le Guess Who and the Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

This intimate performance from a living legend of instrumental music - both electric and acoustic - is sure to be a season highlight.
