Creative Writing for Healing & Hope
with Oregon Literary Fellow, Rachael Carnes
We’re all storytellers, and we all have a story to tell. Curious where to start? Need a little inspiration to get going? Looking for a nurturing space to explore writing across genres, from poems to short stories, plays, and fiction? This 8-week workshop is designed for anyone to experience the healing and hope that come from creative writing.
Discover the Healing Power of Writing
Writing is a transformative tool for processing emotions and exploring thoughts. It offers a path to healing through creative expression. Whether you’re navigating grief, managing stress, or seeking a creative outlet, writing can help you understand your inner world and promote personal growth.
Join a supportive community of writers to enhance your journey. Experience connection, encouragement, and shared inspiration. All are welcome, no experience necessary.
