Following their “Narrating Through Grief” workshop in November, MWC and Illuminate Healing Studio will host a writing workshop centered on grief: writing into and through it, using sound and poetry as tools to both capture and release it in creative ways. Hosted by Becky Nakashima-Brooke and Ryan Collins, the program will feature a sound bath, brief readings and discussion, and time to write and share as a group. This workshop will feature different readings and writing prompts than the last one, FYI.

Please email Ryan Collins (mwc@mwcqc.org) to register. Cost for the workshop is “pay-what-you-can” at the door on the day of the event; if you can’t pay anything, no problem.

The holidays can be a heavy time; we hope this free workshop will be a chance for people to find some lightness as we move into the new year.
