This workshop explores the “alone together” through writing, seeing it as a collaborative practice rather than some magic genius activity carried out in complete solitude. Through playful exercises we will practice sharing ideas and asking each other for support. We will carefully examine how to allow co-thinkers into the space we create through our texts.

It is not necessarily a writing workshop. It’s a being-together workshop where we also write. This workshop is not just welcoming writers, but people who are open to learning through the activity of using letters, words, pens, and paper.
