Deepen your ability to write with vulnerability while developing ideas for writing projects.
We will explore the complexities of writing about sensitive topics with vulnerability and creative courage. We will look at our lived experiences to find meaning, wisdom, and the confidence to express our true selves on the page. Through interactive exercises, participants will learn how to view creative vulnerability as an act of generosity to oneself and to others. On the first day, writers will receive instruction and start a rough draft of a personal story. On the second day, they will share their work and receive feedback and additional resources.
