Open to all levels 4 Sessions
4 Sessions Did you know healing your inner child can begin at the palm of your other hand? In this four-week course, participants will use the power of storytelling and the curiosity of creative writing to engage in a deeper connection with their inner child(ren). We will engage with our inner children by examining different written works, non-dominant handwriting, and powerful poetry prompts. You will examine multiple works centered around gender, sexuality, and identity and write your own works that are rooted in cultivating a softer future for yourself. More importantly, by the end of this course, you will have a lifelong tool that will foster grace, compassion, and a more profound sense of self. Text we'll read include work from Sandra Cisneros, Lucille Clifton, Nikky Finney, and Lando Chill.
