<p>This generative, multi-genre writing workshop will explore what lives underneath the surfaces of our stories, poems, essays and hybrids. We will discuss fear, vulnerability, and hiding, and through gentle body-based exercises and multi-genre prompts, meet the stories living underneath the layers of protection we’ve cultivated. There will be time for discussion and optional sharing.</p>
