Writing Workshop: Practice and Process is grounded in a view of writing as a way of being in the world—aware, reflective, and open-hearted. The course is structured as a workshop whereby writers co-create a compassionate, caring, and supportive community for writing and for sharing their words and for requesting, receiving, and giving feedback to one another. Collectively, we will engage with different aspects of the writing process: generating drafts, (re)drafting/revising, sharing, and editing. An important component of our work together is an individual and collective commitment to listening with heart—to others and also to ourselves.
