In this three-week workshop, we will liberate our minds and recover from the trauma of the “school-essay” mentality by creating hybrid essays that engage the reader, reflect our realities, and push the limits of what an essay can be. Bring any projects or ideas you're working on--memoirs, family histories, love letters, journals, or thoughts you want to share about life, art, history, spirit, geography, the world! 

In this hands-on writing workshop,  participants will receive a gentle and fun introduction into creative writing and opportunities to dabble in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction to see which one resonates most. This course is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to rediscover their creativity. At each interactive session, participants will generate new writing and will be encouraged to share their work with others.

In this one-day workshop, we will study and discuss various examples of compelling first pages to see what works; we will review craft elements such as character, setting, point-of-view, and narrative voice; and we will write and examine our own first pages in a safe, supportive environment. 

In this 1-day generative workshop, co-led by poet Aaron Deutsch and Licensed Professional Counselor Heather Joy Pitamber, participants will explore the practice of Narrative Therapy, a counseling technique that empowers participants to “rewrite” their story for a future that reflects who they really are, what they are capable of, and what their purpose is. Then, we will practice applying this therapeutic tool to our own writing to generate compelling stories that carve out new possibilities. 

Are you a writer who struggles to find joy in your current writing practice? Is self-doubt or lack of direction keeping you from being the powerful, truthful, creative writer you want to be? It’s time to set yourself free from the things that hold your writing practice back!
