Women's Journal Writing Group: Spring Session Offered

Do you want to write your first novel; journal more each week, or begin a family history? The Women’s Journal Writing Group is now accepting new members for the 6-week Spring Session beginning the first week in April.

“The Journal Writing Group is like going to the gym. we all need a chance to exercise the emotional and creative side of our minds, to take risks with our thoughts, and do short writing practices that push away our critical, nay-saying minds. We must write from our hearts and our bellies to figure out what we know or believe,” said Key West writer, Susan Wadia-Ells, who leads these weekly experiential sessions.

Each group is limited to ten members, with a choice of either an afternoon or an evening session offered this Spring.  Both groups meet in old town, with off- street parking available. Members can choose the full 6-week offering or a 3- week mini-session.

Wadia-Ells holds a PhD in women’s autobiographical writing and has studied journal writing methodology with Natalie Goldberg, author of “Writing Down the Bones” and with Lamont Poetry Prize winner, Minnie Bruce Pratt. She is also founding director of The National Breast Cancer Prevention Project and is currently finishing a self-help book on stopping breast cancer before it can start. Cost of the full session is $ 150; the 3-week session is $ 90.  For more information, [email protected] or 978 578 1546.
