Radical Writing Space is our answer to this conundrum of wanting to attend for some radical self-care\, but struggling to commit. \nClinical studies have documented the healing psychological and psychical impacts of writing within a safe and sacred space. On the second Friday of each month\, drop in for one hour for Radical Writing Space and join us for inspiring writing prompts\, time to write\, and time to share with one another about your experience of putting your most radical emotions\, feelings\, and experiences on paper. \nThe part that makes this writing so “radical” is that we create a safe space for it all — raw feelings\, emotions\, experiences — and\, together\, we give voice to them in a supportive\, nonjudgmental environment. \nThis healing program offers a place for supporting one another and we stay clear of writing critique. Come and experience writing and sharing together.
