WORKSHOP TAKE-A-WAYS
Over time, you’ll develop a fresh body of new work, revitalize your creativity, recover your spontaneity from perfectionism and develop new skills. This easier, more joyful way to write will help you create authentic stories that touch, inspire and entertain others.
What if you could jump out of bed in the morning, eager to write? You can.
In this workshop, break through blocks to write more and better. Whether you have a fear of judgment, suffer from perfectionism, or feel stuck in old ideas or routines, in this Expressive Writing Workshop, you’ll have some fun creating a body of fresh, new writing.
Imagine you can enter the “flow state” on demand. Legend says a bullet flew past Picasso’s head during WW2. He never looked up from his painting. That’s FOCUS! No wonder he was one of the most productive writers of all time. You probably won’t have any bullets fly past your head, but when you learn to “access the state of creative flow” time flies past like hummingbirds. Words spill onto the page. You’re pleasantly surprised by what and how much you’ve written.
Gain Confidence by Sharing Your Writing with Others. Imagine reading your work aloud and,instead of a critique, you discover what truly works with the first draft. Instead of loading your draft with judgment— we celebrate what resonates and how to expand it. We focus on your strengths and how to generate more writing. (A good critique is wonderful, but is better left to less creative stages of your writing process.)
Embrace Authentic Self-Expression. In the Expressive Writing: Write Boldly, Write Freely Workshop, you’ll be encouraged to embrace your raw truth and voice. This will be a safe space to explore and express your deepest thoughts and emotions. By writing boldly and freely, you’ll not only enhance your writing skills but also forge a deep connection to your true self.
BONUS! Expressive writing is more than just a creative outlet—it’s a powerful tool for healing.
Writing for self-discovery uncovers emotions and experiences unconsciously buried or censored. It processes feelings, makes sense of past events, and ultimately, heals you.

In this immersive and interactive workshop, explore the transformative power of expressive writing. This isn’tabout crafting a single story—it’s about embracing the full spectrum of creative expression through language. With the help of improvisational techniques adapted from theater, you’ll unlock new dimensions of your writing, from poetry to essays, metaphors to rhythm.
Here’s where you’ll dive and become a strong writer — able to swim in the deep end.
- Experiment with Language: Discover the richness of language by playing with verbs, metaphors, and irony. You’ll learn how to craft sentences that sing and resonate, making your writing more vibrant and impactful.
- Find Your Natural Rhythm: Through guided exercises, develop a keen ear for the musicality of language, whether you’re writing poetry, prose, or personal essays.
- Play with Metaphor and Symbolism: Metaphors and symbols can add depth and layers to your writing. In class, practice using these tools to convey complex emotions and ideas, making your writing more engaging and powerful.
- Learn How to Use Irony and Humor: Add nuance and style to your writing. Whether you’re tackling a serious subject or crafting a light-hearted piece, discover how to incorporate these elements to enrich your narrative.
- Develop Your Unique Voice: Through expressive writing, you’ll experiment with different styles and tones, helping you discover and refine your unique writing voice. This workshop is a safe space to explore and stretch the boundaries of your creativity.
- Create Vivid Imagery: Learn how to paint pictures with words. Practice using descriptive language to create vivid, sensory-rich imagery that captivates your readers and brings your writing to life.
- Unlock Poetic Expression: Even if you’ve never written poetry before, we’ll explore poetic forms and devices (such as line breaks, repetition, and other techniques that add rhythm and flow to your writing.)
- Write Without Inhibitions: Let go of self-doubt and perfectionism. With plenty of encouragement and mirroring (rather than critiques) learn how to write freely, and fearlessly by tapping into the raw, unfiltered aspects of your creativity.
- Build Confidence in Your Writing: As you experiment with different forms and techniques, share your experiments, and turn mistakes into opportunities for advancement, you’ll naturally gain confidence in your ability to express yourself through your art and in your life.
- Discover and Express Emotions Through Writing: Expressive writing is a powerful tool for exploring and processing emotions. Discover how to channel your feelings into your writing. Create work that is creatively satisfying AND personally healing.
- Explore Different Forms of Writing: From poetry to essays, fiction, and non-fiction, from short reflections to longer explorations, this workshop invites you to experiment with various forms of writing.
- Learn by Doing: In this workshop, learn the craft of writing by actively engaging in it. And with the proven improvisational tools (adapted from the theater) the hands-on, experiential, are designed to help you grow as a writer by having some fun.
- Unlock your creative potential, find joy in the process, and gain the skills to express yourself fully and authentically.
