Our Creative Mission
The creative mission of our ministry lies in
healing, storytelling, and sacred space.
Wild Ink Sanctuary is more than a writing studio.
It’s a sacred space for healing, storytelling, and connection,
especially for those often left out of traditional narratives.
At Wild Ink Sanctuary, we believe:
That every voice matters, especially those navigating grief, trauma, disability, caregiving, or systemic marginalization.
That storytelling is a spiritual act—one of reclamation, resistance, and rest.
That creativity should be accessible, joyful, and deeply personal.
Our creative mission is to create a refuge where writing becomes sanctuary.
A place where people can tell the truth of their lives without fear, shame, or performance.
What We Offer
At Wild Ink Sanctuary, our offerings are rooted in care, creativity, and accessibility.
We don’t believe in gatekeeping art. We believe in opening doors.
Creative ministry spaces
(coming soon)
Both online and in person, Wild Ink is building a community space where storytelling is sacred and every voice is welcome.
Free and low-cost writing workshops
Gentle, story-based sessions for youth, caregivers, queer creatives, and anyone seeking healing through words.
Zine kits and self-guided resources
Sent with love or available for download—these DIY tools are designed for reflection, expression, and play.
Why It Matters
Too many people are told their stories are too messy, too much, or not enough.
Here, we embrace the mess. We honor the journey. We write anyway.
Wild Ink Sanctuary is a creative mission, founded by Monique Martin—queer writer, caregiver, mother, and healing artist—who knows the power of telling the truth on the page.
You don’t need credentials to be here.
You don’t need to write every day.
You just need to show up, as you are.
