Course Description

Classes are designed to provide a safe and supportive space for women who want to explore their writing voice. Women are encouraged to tell their stories in whatever written form they wish to pursue, whether it is fiction, poetry, journal, essay, or drama.

Women Writing for a Change is for:

• new and experienced writers seeking a community in which to discover and deepen their writing voices.
• women in need of new sources of creative inspiration in their lives and their work.
• women in transition, and
• those wishing to explore writing as a spiritual or healing practice, or as a tool of social change.
  

Classes are planned to provide time, space and skilled facilitation to:

• create a supportive and welcoming atmosphere
• provide respectful feedback on writing in large and small groups.
• discuss readings of essays, stories, poems, and creative non-fiction by participants, and
• encourage on-going writing practice
  

What women have said about the class:

I love the time to create, giving voice to my words and thoughts, the openness of the listeners, and receiving feedback. It is a gift to have this time for myself.

Writing always teaches me something about myself and helps me move forward in my life.

It is a gift to listen to sister voices, to hold their words, and in turn to have my words held and listened to.

Gift of being here: A chance to try my voice again.

I am always amazed by the diversity and richness of our words.
