Healing Writing Circles: Caring About Ourselves Through Poetry and Prose

We have started the Healing Writing Circles project, an exciting opportunity for people from the Linn and Benton County communities to express themselves through writing. Participants reflect upon their lives and their communities and represent that in the form of poetry and prose. As they do that, they meditate and learn tools for self-care. The group meets 12 times a year and at the end a book with their writing will be published. No previous writing experience is required. The project is moderated by the poet Concepción Sámano.
