SUMMARY:*Registration Required* The Writing Well
DESCRIPTION:The Writing Well invites writing for fun and inspiration. Each of us has a deep well of creativity and writing is one way to access the treasures from that well. A few places are still open for the fall program. “Writing alone\, together\,” we’ll meet on Zoom the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays\, September 8 through November 24\, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time. \nIn The Writing Well sessions\, we work with prompts to explore whatever is seeking your expression in the moment. We meet together in a safe space\, hold one another’s confidentiality\, and (if willing) take risks to share what we discover. Consistent practice can strengthen our creativity muscles and may promote healing\, connection with self and others\, and help improve craft and accountability. Sophia D. brings her experience as lay minister\, spiritual director\, and professional writer to these informal sessions\, but promises there will be no critiquing or instruction. \nTo register for this event and receive the Zoom link\, click here.
