How has your writing changed?</blockquote><blockquote>Join us for a 12-week journey as we explore the themes of personal and community transformation…from then to now. It’s time to document the stories of our lives and our world.</blockquote><blockquote>We will use Natalie Goldberg’s groundbreaking book, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, as our basic text. Goldberg, who coined the term “fast write,” is the queen of encouraging writing that is vulnerable, truthful, and down to the bone. We will be surrounded by the art of our latest exhibition, Metamorphosis: The Art of (a) Change, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Women Writing for (a) Change Jacksonville in North Florida. Register soon; seats are limited. Save the date of Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, as our Public ReadAround. </blockquote><blockquote>Open to anyone who identifies as a woman.

She developed WWf(a)C to encourage women to find their voices, speak their truths, and tell their stories in a world in which they were often silenced. (womenwriting.org).The Jacksonville-affiliated school was established in 2014 by Jennifer Wolfe, evolving into a non-profit in 2018, and adding three new faculty members in 2019-2020. Our intention is to expand our outreach and accessibility to a larger, more diverse audience.“A circle of women may be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, Dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love great. You will be changed. The very fabric of your Being will be altered by this. If you allow it. Please, allow it.” — Jeanette LeBlanc***** Scholarships Available; request application*****
