Through guided writing prompts, reflective exercises, and group discussions, participants will have the opportunity to:

Explore Your Voice: Discover and nurture your unique voice, allowing for self-expression in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.
Craft Your Narrative: Learn techniques for weaving your experiences into poetry, prose, and personal essays, transforming pain into powerful narratives.
Share and Reflect: Engage in open dialogue with others who understand your journey, fostering connection and community.

No prior writing experience is necessary. Through the art of writing, we will honor each other’s stories and cultivate resilience. Join us as we embark on this journey of healing and self-discovery.
