 WIDE OPEN WRITING PHILOSOPHY

  • The transformational power of words lives within each of us.

  • Creativity is an energy that grows with sharing.

  • We create a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can explore their untapped creativity.

  • Within that environment, you’re given permission and tools to notice what you notice, be present with whatever emerges, and then write about it.

  • We’ll gather with the intention of bringing light and healing through the sheer power of our words shared together in creative community.
