Writing As Catharsis
Shareefa Energy will be facilitating a poetry and creative writing workshop at Delta Echo Fest, supporting participants to have some reflective time to articulate themselves as well as checking in on their wellbeing, learn methods of expanding their writing skills both for page and stage. Participants will leave the session having written a few new pieces after being given writing prompts, as well as having the opportunity to share their writing and improve their confidence if comfortable. The writing session is a welcoming space for neurodivergent writers. Open to writers of all abilities.
