Weekly group writing sessions provide a safe environment for self-expression and healing. Classes meet every Wednesday from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. and are held virtually via Zoom.

Expressive writing:

  • Reduces stress
  • Decreases symptoms
  • Strengthens immune systems
  • Shortens recovery periods
  • Improves family relationships

Pre-registration is required. Must be 18 years or older to attend.

No experience in creative writing is required. The intention of the workshop is to create a sense of freedom and excitement about writing. We are all writers. Discover and share with us your way and your voice.
