Winter Greetings to the Women Writing for (a) Change Community!

I hope this newsletter null

finds you enjoying this season!

This week of the Winter Solstice is a reminder to once again slow down, listen to intuition, and practice a little extra self-care. My gratitude goes out to this entire community of writers, supporters, volunteers, staff, faculty, and board members for a bountiful year.

As our fall semester draws to a close this week, many students have already begun signing up for January classes. Check our class listings below to see our current winter offerings and keep checking our webpage for added programs, workshops, and events.

May we all find that which most supports us in this holiday season and warm wishes to all for an abundant 2014!

In Peace,

-Diane

About Our Classes

Core Classes

In our core classes, facilitators offer writing prompts and resources, and encourage participants to choose and develop their own subject matter. Classes allow for personal writing time, sharing in large and small groups, guidance in giving and receiving useful, positive feedback, and opportunities to read aloud to an audience.

Programs for Young Women
Classes and camps use the art of writing and other arts to enhance self-esteem and build skills in creative self-expression.

Specialty Workshops
Theme-based opportunities for writers and those wishing to explore other forms of creativity in addition to writing.
