About this Event
___
In the midst of ongoing trauma and uncertainty in Iran and across the region, Kucheh Kollective invites you to an afternoon of writing as a path to understanding, processing, and healing.
This workshop provides the Iranian diaspora community with a safe and supportive space to explore identity, emotion, belonging, and resilience. Through guided meditation, group and independent writing prompts, and optional sharing, together we will meet our grief, confusion, and pain with empathy and compassion.
No prior writing experience is necessary. Just show up and put pen to page.
