"Begin Here"

Service Description

Join facilitator Lyndsey McGuire for an online immersion into prompt-based writing. "Begin Here" is a free, two-week session that precedes the paid "Amethyst" writing group. Welcome to group members new and old, class participants are given writing prompts and encouraged to keep their pens moving and to write without restraint or the impulse to edit along the way. This style of writing allows for messiness, imperfection, and spontaneity. There is no criticism or feedback given in the group. This helps to not only take the constraints and expectations off of the writer, but also helps to hone deep listening skills. In the context of a supportive group container, writers of all skill levels are invited to explore their creativity and to access our shared humanity by telling the stories that reside within each of us.
