Writing Your Story: Finding Emotional Freedom in Writing
with Summer A.H. Christiansen
Date: Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Time: 6:30-8:30pm
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Description:Feelings of overwhelm are common in today’s hectic world. Writing is a way to calm your mind and access the truths you want to share with the world. My goal as a writer and as a teacher is to help others feel less alone and give them the tools they need to help tell their own story. In this session, we’ll use reflective writing exercises to help us get started telling our own stories and discuss how writing can be used as a tool to help us process our lives. You will walk away with a new journal, fresh ideas, and a better idea of what story needs to be told. This class is a great option for beginners who want to explore the world of creative nonfiction and establish a regular writing process, or advanced writers who are looking for generative exercises to help them start/continue a piece of writing.
Writers of all skill levels, including beginners, are welcome.
