Create Visibility and Acceptance through Writing

domingo, el 24 de junio de 2018 a las 08:30–10:00 PDT
Redwood
Workshop Description

Resolve conflict, demonstrate acceptance, and create visibility within and among your community by using the written word as the vehicle. Whether it's a letter to your child, a public blog post, an op-ed, or a diary entry, words are full of impact and power. They can educate, advocate, celebrate, and connect us to one another. This interactive workshop allows attendees to participate as fully as they're able and then share their writing (optionally) within the safe space of the group.
