Heal, discover, exorcise, and celebrate survival
Thursdays at 6:00 -7:30pm PT / 9:00 – 10:30pm ET
Nov. 12, 19 and Dec. 3, 10
Note: No class Nov. 26
Many of us write what haunts us in order to heal, discover, exorcise, make meaning of, celebrate survival, and/or reach for connection.
In a highly supportive environment, we’ll explore access points to writing trauma, self-care for the process, and sticky issues of impact (on self and others).
We’ll generate new work, focus significantly on craft, and discuss the joys and challenges of writing about trauma.
The Workshop Includes
- Weekly 90-minute live writing workshop and discourse facilitated by Tara Hardy
- Feedback on your work
- A dedicated place to complete assignments, discuss ideas, and share your work with your coursemates
