About this Event
Join us for this Sampler of our in-person classes. Learn how we approach writing in community, using practices honed by 30 years of experience. Enjoy friendly people, meaningful writing, and sacred words.
Dive into memoir and explore themes of justice, hope, and redemption in our lives as we journey to a reflective place in this Sampler. Writing helps us makes sense of our past and our world, and helps us write our new future. Find the inspirational stories of your life and weave tales of hope and justice as we surround ourselves with beautiful art from our current exhibition, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. Join us in the comfort of a warm circle of dear friends (old and new).
Note: Open to anyone who identifies as a woman. Class size limited for safety protocols. Register early to reserve a spot.
This Sampler facilitated by executive director Jennifer Wolfe.
MORE DETAILS
New writer? Remember, you don’t have to be a professional writer to join in. Use this class to find out more about Women Writing for (a) Change’s amazing process, used by thousands of women across the country since 1991 to express their authentic selves through writing and community-building. We'll use prompts, poetry, and prose to practice many different writing techniques.
Experienced writer? By taking this series, you'll have a chance to sharpen your craft and technique in our small-group circles. You can bring whatever project you're working on and expect good feedback from people you can trust.
BACKGROUND
Women Writing for (a) Change® was founded in 1991 by Mary Pierce Brosmer, a practicing poet and former English teacher. She developed WWf(a)C to encourage women to find their voices, speak their truths, and tell their stories in a world in which they were often silenced. (womenwriting.org).
The Jacksonville-affiliated school was established in 2014 by Jennifer Wolfe, evolving into a non-profit in 2018, and adding three new faculty members in 2019-2020. Our intention is to expand our outreach and accessibility to a larger, more diverse audience.
“A circle of women may be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, Dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love great. You will be changed. The very fabric of your Being will be altered by this. If you allow it. Please, allow it.” — Jeanette LeBlanc
