Let’s slow down together as we sip tea and turn to the page for this slow-paced, gentle writing workshop. Through a series of open writing prompts, you’ll hone in on your personal vision for slowness, perhaps within a busy life of parenting and studies. All writing levels are welcome. Participants are most welcome to write in the language of their choice. Sharing your writing is always optional.
Facilitators:
Nina K Moore (MEd) thinks coziness is important and going slow has value. Nina leads writing workshops. For Nina, writing is an important part of managing, and living, with anxiety. Nina is a mama and was a primary teacher for over 12 years.
