Writing Workshop
Engage with literature & writing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Some of us think that writing is only for writers — but writing is for all of us.
As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, "I believe we all come into life as writers." Whether it's poetry, songwriting, or storytelling, the freedom to express and record through written language is a powerful thing. Join us at one of our writing workshops to discover, create, and express freely on whatever platform suits you best.
Hone your skills through exposure and analysis of fictional and non-fictional literature, as well as learning grammatical tips and tricks. In past workshops, we've discussed Theodore Roosevelt's "The Man in the Arena" quote, the concept of "The Road Less Traveled", "The Rose that Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur, a poem by our very own Karl Rohde, and the "Invictus" poem by William Ernest Henley.
The goal is to explore writing as a wellness tool & creative outlet. Mike adjusts each workshop to the participants each time. We hope you'll join our next session!
