Finding Our Center in Shifting Sands: A Reflective Writing Workshop

Online

Join us online for this special workshop opportunity. In uncertain times, we need spaces to process our grief, concerns, and fears—while also nurturing resilience and hope. Finding Our Center in Shifting Sands is a guided expressive writing workshop that Perlie Davis and Cindy Appleby have designed as an opportunity for those seeking connection and emotional grounding in today’s turbulent political climate. Through reflective journaling, poetry, and shared conversation, we will honor our feelings, deepen self-awareness, and create a supportive space for healing. While this workshop is not about problem-solving, it offers an opportunity to find strength in the community. Join us in holding space for both our struggles and our capacity for transformation.
