FRIDAY SALON ~ JANUARY 4

Begin your New Year at a Friday Salon! Come to share your hopes, dreams and challenges for 2013. If you have something you have written that you would like to share, please bring it. (3 minute rule). Also if you are bringing something written try to bring something based on your understanding of community. Since we are trying to build a community here lets see if we can hear what each of us thinks when we say that word. The potluck will be on the table in the center of our talking. A New Years Feast if you will. Bring something for yourself and a little extra for others. All salons are accessible by all.
The salons are presented by Women's Way of Ohio
for your enjoyment. Join us. For details, please call 513-923-1414.

WINTER CORE CLASSES
REGISTER NOW
| |
The featured focus of our core classes is writing in community over a period of several weeks. While some writing technique is taught in each class, emphasis is placed on the writer pursuing her own forms of written expression (e.g., poetry, memoir, fiction, non-fiction or journaling). Each writer is in charge of her writing. She requests from small group members the type of feedback she wants, based on her motivation and intentions. The proven process used creates a safe space for individuals to develop their own voice and offers opportunities to have their words heard and honored without judgment.
