“Jan 30 & Feb 26, 2025 6:30-8:30pm
Must be 18+ to participate
There are many events in the world that have impacted us both on personal and global levels. We wake up every day expected to cope with wars, violence, natural disasters, and the polaristic divide that recent and ongoing events have brought about.
In this two-session virtual workshop we will focus on ways to explore giving a voice to our sorrow.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
- Be able to address areas of sorrow that you needed to address but were not sure how to write about.
- Understand how other authors address challenging topics, and what they used in their writing that may help to motivate you to read more on those topics and write more. (It’s recommended to use a journal and take notes while reading and after attending the workshops).
- Have had the opportunity to give and receive constructive feedback from the instructor and group members with suggestions for expansion and revision with positive yet helpful encouragement.
Due to the unlimited number of topics that may be triggering for some, you may decide not to share your work or take a time out if needed. This is a safe space, and your information will not be shared outside of this workshop…”
