The Crucible of You: Write Yourself from Hurt to Healing
A Sitka Center Workshop
Saturday, August 31, 2019 // to Sunday, September 1, 2019 Sitka Center for Art and Ecology
We don’t live in our lives. We live in the stories we tell about our lives. And we may not realize how our stories about difficult experiences are hurting us. This workshop will offer a series of poems, prompts, rituals and writing exercises designed to mine “failures” for wisdom and alchemy. We will explore ways to rewrite what hurt you into what eventually heals you. You’ll gain tools and strategies for writing as a transformational practice. And you’ll leave with several poem, essay or story starts (you choose), and one longer piece to return to on your own.
Members-Only Workshop Registration Opens – February 26
General Public Workshop Registration Opens – March 12
