IN-PERSON ONLY
ABOUT
The pen is mightier than the sword, and more gentle. Welcome back to taking care of yourself through writing. For those who attended the previous session, this week is a continuation of the exploration and community-building we started. There will be new prompts and lots of time for writing and sharing (but there is no requirement to share). New participants, you will be helped to plunge softly into self-understanding and expression, guided by the healing powers of creativity.
As we work through our individual and collective struggles, you might find peace of mind or open up Pandora’s box. Either way, we’ll do it together with empathy, courage, and kindness as we embrace writing as a form of self-care.
You can sign up for one or both parts of this workshop, but signing up for both parts is strongly encouraged to get the most out of your time with Niki and your classmates.

It gets us through and sometimes heals us.
