Harness the energy of the longest day of the year to uncover your authentic writing voice.
This generative workshop invites writers to explore what becomes visible when we write toward the light. Through guided prompts, reflection, and discussion, participants will explore how internal censorship and perfectionism can obscure authentic voice and limit creative expression. By the end of the workshop, writers will leave with new material and practical strategies for writing more freely, with greater clarity and confidence. No preparation required.
