Description :

Adults, join a 6-week writing group led by Kathy Nollet, focusing on personal essays around periods of retreat or retirement in your life. Whatever your level of experience, there is a place for you in this group.  Registration is required and is for all six weeks of the program. Attendance at all sessions is strongly encouraged but later registrations are welcome. About the theme: Have you paused your career for a temporary retreat, such as for child-rearing or caretaking? Or are you in full retirement mode and learning to live with a brand new rhythm of your day? Nuances appear as we go through these changes, which are ripe for recognition and storytelling. We'll write from prompts and at the end of six weeks, you'll have first drafts of wonderful essays to polish and share. About the instructor: Kathleen M. Nollet, PhD, is an educator and writer who has taught writing to adults for over 20 years. QUESTIONS ABOUT REGISTRATION?
