Writing from the Body: How to Free Your Voice (Online)

Presented by The Chattery:

Writers write to make sense of their thoughts and experiences. Those experiences do not have to be tidy or sterile, but of the mysteries and the whispers that have followed us all our lives.

This two hour workshop will help you discover your own “body" of writing and help you begin to experience your physical self as an endless creative well from which to draw amazing inspiration, regardless of your age, writing experience, or education background.

We will address the “The Eight Great Fears” that hinder people from creative expression. You will begin the journey of writing fearlessly.
