HEALING AND RENEWAL WRITING WORKSHOP

Renewal comes from taking the time to pause and connect with yourself. Writing is a wonderful tool for capturing the thoughts, feelings, or memories that beg to be brought to life for closer examination and inner healing. In this generative four-session workshop, we will use writing prompts that explore the following themes: inclusivity, hope, humanity, social justice, and the importance of being seen and accepted. This workshop is for people who have never written before, experienced writers, or anyone

Here are the dates for the class: August 12, 19, and 26, and September 2, from 7:00–8:15 p.m. via Zoom.
