Each session stands alone\, so feel free to drop in and see what comes up when you take the expectations out of creative expression.

Before finalizing your registration\, we kindly ask you to reflect on your availability and commitment to attend each class and actively engage in the discussions and activities. \nAbout the InstructorRebecca Gifford is a writer\, writing coach and workshop facilitator who loves helping people make writing a meaningful part of their life and growth.
