Healing a Heart: Writing as an Act of Self-Care
Healing a Heart: Writing as an Act of Self-Care
August 21st - September 25th
7:00 - 8:30 PM CST
OPEN YOUR HEART
In this six-part class we'll explore the art and magic of writing as a healing process in a collaborative and supportive environment. Together, we will share our stories, read a variety of essays and short fiction in order to identify how others have utilized the written word to heal themselves, and then we will begin to develop and create our own pieces utilizing the techniques identified in classic and contemporary texts. Finally, we will thoughtfully workshop one another's work in an effort to support and inspire each other as writers, culminating in a reading of our work in literary salon fashion! With an emphasis on discovery and fun, you will be encouraged to try new things and new voices in your work. No previous experience necessary - just an open heart!
