Saturday, February 21 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.  |  Poetry Writing Workshop: Writing Your Pain Into Poetry
Sometimes we write because it hurts, whatever "it" is. Bring your hurt, your pain, your sorrow. We will turn it into healing words. We will discuss why sometimes we turn to the pen when things seem down or hopeless, and what that brings us when we write the pain on paper. Led by Julie Paschold.
