New Expressive Writing Opportunity

  • Congregation Mishkan Israel 785 Ridge Road Hamden, CT, 06517 United States (map)

All adult CMI members with an interest in self-expression through creative writing are invited to participate in our upcoming Expressive Writing Workshop. The sessions will be led by CMI congregant, Amy J. Barry, an award-winning columnist, published poet, children’s book author, and certified expressive arts facilitator, who has been leading writing workshops on the Connecticut shoreline for over 12 years. Amy will employ imaginative prompts and exercises that engage participants in the joy of writing intuitively starting from the heart, not the head. The emphasis will be on writing poetry and short fiction in a supportive group setting. No previous writing experience is necessary.

 Sessions will be held in person at CMI from 1 to 2:30 pm. on the following Wednesdays:

January 15

February 19

March 19

April 16 

There is no charge for the writing workshop and attendance at all four sessions is not required. For planning purposes, please RSVP to Nancy Moss Racusin (nancymr@snet.net) in advance of each session. You may also contact Nancy with any questions or concerns.

You can learn more about Amy and her writing programs on her website: www.aimwrite-ct.net
