Writers Weekend: Stories from the Inside

Co-presented with California College of the Arts

A growing body of research proves that creative writing and literary arts are instrumental in healing and coping with trauma. In this session, we’ll hear about how writing, poetry, and storytelling are transformative pathways to restorative justice from the facilitators and former participants of creative writing Pr*son programs. Come hear incredible stories of how finding your voice through writing can heal, restore, and provide a sense of purpose.
