BALANCE FOR WORKSHOP DUE BY AUGUST 17

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: In this workshop, we will explore filmmaker Kirsten Johnson’s notion that it is never too late to get to know someone you love more deeply, even after they are gone. We will explore our losses and our lost loved ones through creative writing, with the hope (and the belief) that this communal work will be of use to all of us as we move through our grief process(es). The course is appropriate for those who already have projects underway as well as for those who don't, and for those who might just be curious to see what writing can do for them; we will generate new work as well as share with one another. This workshop will meet online for six weeks, with six sessions of 1.5 hours each. The workshop will be capped at 8 people. Please do not sign up for this workshop unless you feel you are able to share openly about your loss and your lost person without doing undue harm to yourself.

[Please note: your loss must not be the loss of a person! Grief is a word that encompasses many things. Feel free to reach out (info@nellie.hermann.com) if you wish to discuss whether the course is right for you.]
