Writing pen pals

Writing doesn’t have to be a lonely pursuit. Grab your cup of coffee or tea and pen and notebook (or laptop, iPad) and join fellow writers for a meeting of Pen Pals.

 

The facilitator will offer writing prompts on the topic of “Celebrating My Life.” We will focus on strengths we have gained through the challenges we have faced in our lives.

 

There will be time for personal writing, discussion, laughter, and kind responses. No critiquing, just writing and support.

Suggested Donation: $10

Seeing with the Heart - A Cinquain Writing Practice

Gather some photographs, magazine images, or your own art work… work that inspires joy or gratitude.

 

We will select an image of our own and write a poem — a cinquain, under the guidance of the facilitator. A cinquain is a 5-line poem with a specific form that’s easy to follow. The poem is meant to “express the heart of an experience in just a few words.”

 

We will share our poems, images, and gratitude for life experiences. We will begin the workshop with a short period of silence and body meditation for relaxation.
