Learning to access your creative superpowers is a life skill and robust tool for resilience. This workshop will help you (re)discover how writing and creative expression can offer strength, humour, confidence, clarity and healing, even amidst challenge and change. This is not a traditional writer’s workshop, and no writing experience is necessary — only a willingness to be curious and try new things.

In six two-hour weekly sessions we will explore:

• Your inner creative life and imagination 
• The joy of creative expression
• Your unique and powerful voice
• How your writing can connect you to others
• How writing can help you cope and heal

What to expect:

• Guided meditations
• In-workshop creative exercises
• Home writing assignments and journaling
• Sharing of writing and discussion/feedback

"I had the privilege of taking the Express Yourself workshop this past Fall, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to writer's and non-writers! This was the first time I had taken any kind of writing course since high school (a true writing class virgin!)  And I was a bit unsure of what to expect. Would the Zoom atmosphere work for me? Would I fit in with the group? Have I retained enough academic knowledge to not look foolish? Mindfulness,  how will that work? Well, by the end of our first class, I felt reassured. Rebecca has a gift for making people feel heard. Without giving away any secrets, I finished the class with new friendships, new confidence in writing and a new love of Poetry." -Jeanette Fisher Pynn, Class of September/October 2021

The course series will be delivered over zoom.
