Writing  for Change

How can I use writing to change myself, my community, my world? As the rapidly changing conditions of our  twenty-first century world demand an immediate response, this workshop shows how can we use writing as a tool for motivating and inspiring positive personal and collective change.

Writing Labs

Summer and Winter Writers Labs are conducted over three weeks with workshop meetings held every three to four days. At each workshop, essential elements of writer’s craft are revised and writers have a chance to read, critique and receive feedback on any aspect of their writing and creative process.

Writing the Body

What stories does the body hold? What secrets does the elbow have to tell? What about the nose, your little finger or a strand of hair? What language do your scars speak? Which limb could best tell the story of your worst illness or accident? Learn a new way into inspiration, writing  and healing old scars.
