SUMMARY:Creative Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Write the story only you can tell. Join a supportive writing group designed to help you find the words for the life stories you haven’t found a way to tell.

Rough rafts are expected and welcome.  \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect:  \n\n\n\n\nSmall group setting (Max. 10 participants) \n\n\n\nWarm-up writing and group intros \n\n\n\nRound table sharing tell the story you want to write \n\n\n\nSupportive feedback; what resonates\, what needs clarity \n\n\n\nChoose your prompt and write for 10 minutes \n\n\n\nOptional sharing and group reflection \n\n\n\n\nEvery voice matters\, every draft is a beginning  \n\n\n\nNo experience required – just the willingness to begin  \n\n\n\nThe group will meet biweekly\, max. duration is two hours\, break included  \n\n\n\nRegister with our 2SLGBTQIA+ Program Coordinator Sarah Rea: srea@thegoodcompanions.ca  \n\n\n\nJeremiah Bartram: Queer Catholic Artist & Writer https://www.jeremiahbartram.com/
