Description :

A group for writers at any level, we’ll investigate strategies for writing about grief, work through writing prompts, and receive feedback from the facilitator. Here we approach grief as an unexplored land, moving through it slowly and marveling at its unique topography. We will approach our stories with gentle curiosity, noting the unique details of your particular telling while keeping an eye on the larger topography. We’ll look at the context your story arose from, the unanswerable questions you’re faced with, and what central metaphors, mythologies, and structures you can build to support your work. We will make rituals around our physical and internal spaces, allowing us to be honest on the page while still re-entering the flow of our lives at the end of future writing sessions. Space is limited. Advance registration is required: https://calendly.com/sunderlandpubliclibrary/grief
