A writing workshop series where we will lean into the complexity and contradictions of our experiences.
Join us in this writing workshop series in partnership with Issues Magazine Shop where we honour all that we are grieving and all that we are grateful for in the same breath. In a world that holds fast to binaries and absolutes, we strive to uncover the beauty in nuance.
No writing experience is necessary – only an open heart and an open mind with a readiness to give and receive vulnerability. We’ve carefully and intentionally designed this workshop to be intimate and jam-packed with writing and storytelling. We’ll give you writing prompts to spark your creativity in a supportive environment. All writing materials will be provided.
Cost: $45
Location: Issues Magazine Shop at 1489 Dundas St West, Toronto.
