Join fellow writers in a collaborative New Year writing workshop.

This is an online program. Registration is required. Registered participants will receive the Zoom link to join the program.

Simple, fun writing exercises for all ages and abilities will invite us to laugh, reflect on the past and new years, and share more of ourselves with our friends and families. We'll create a group poem—and who knows what else! Bring pen and paper or a laptop.
