Creativity is a way to connect us to the source of the life within our lives. This Creative Writing Workshop (prose and poetry) will guide you back to that source.

Writing about familiar and universal themes, you will be inspired by your own experience to distill your deepest truths and memories to write your own book of life.

You might craft a sentence into a rhyme, a paragraph into a stanza, a thought into a story.

There will also be the opportunity to receive constructive feedback in a safe and friendly environment.
