Tuesdays at 10:30 AM
Alchemy of Writing
an expressive writing group for new and longtime writers
Led by Mary Phillips
What to Expect
Alchemy, simply defined, is a power or process that transforms something in a mysterious or inexplicable way. Expressive writing is an alchemical experience which fosters transformation through discovery, growth, and healing. Using pen and paper to engage with our thoughts, feelings, and wisdom opens us in ways that are often more expansive and accessible than spoken-word communication. Writing in a group also allows for connections with one another, which can further energize healing and transformation of our souls. All are welcome. No writing experience is necessary- only curiosity and a desire for self-exploration.
Reconnect with your body and mind
