The pandemic profoundly changed the way we live in and understand the world. As we come out of a worldwide pandemic, it is important to process our feelings about the trauma the pandemic has caused in ways that lead to healing for us as individuals and as a community. This is especially vital as we move into a new world that has forever been changed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Writespace invites you to join us for a writing workshop designed to help process painful memories, to support healing, and to create art from our recent experiences. We will offer guided writing prompts, but you can follow them or not as you like. Writers of all experience levels—including folks who are completely new to writing—are welcome.
