We all have a story to tell. But where do we start? How do we continue? How do we get unstuck?
In this 2-hour workshop, participants will practice timed writing prompts aimed at eliciting pieces of their story with the option to share. We will discuss common obstacles faced when writing our personal stories along with ideas and strategies for cultivating a healthy writing practice while building community with each other.
