A writing workshop grounded in accountability, compassion, and creative practice.

Lara Naughton will facilitate a writing workshop. Participants will

· write from personal experience about an impactful experience that sparked change

· practice shaping their experience through creative writing

· explore multiple truths within the same event

· engage in guided, invitational writing exercises and optional sharing

· leave with a draft to continue developing

No prior creative writing experience required.

We will provide writing supplies, and you’re welcome to bring your own if you like! You are invited to register for one or both workshops.

If you plan to attend both workshops, there will be a one-hour lunch break.
