Writing for Peace

See what people are saying

  • “I learnt that honesty is key when it comes to creating in the times we live in — and writing for peace. Getting to read my own piece and get feedback on it was quite the experience, too.”

  • “I learned to trust more in what I write, and this gives me the energy to keep going.”

    Julija, November 11, 2023

  • “The workshop has reminded me how much I enjoy writing. It has also reminded me that it is a practice, and that the only thing I need to do for it to happen is to show up and not judge my process.”

  • “The workshop really helped me get over my writers block and I learned the value of consistent free flow writing.”

    Crystel, November 11, 2023

  • “This was my first writing workshop. [I found] the work that all the participants shared had such depth, an honesty, a power to open your heart and mind, to touch and inspire. I experienced it as nourishing, as soul food. I had the feeling of a presence in the room, a capacity to hold all our human pain, grief, helplessness—even trauma—in such a kind, gentle way. This is something I always want to understand: what can hold this suffering! At this workshop, I got a deeper sense of it.”

  • “How did the workshop contribute to my creative life? I appreciated being acknowledged as ‘a writer’ for the first time in my life. Having a chance to write and read with accomplished writers, I felt deeply understood and heard.”

  • “The readings gave me such awonderful insight into the different ways in which we try to make sense of the world around us. Occasionally we writers (and I suppose everyone else) need to hear other voices and perspectives, as a gentle reminder that no matter how much we believe we know, in the bigger scheme of things, our knowledge is but an itsy-bitsy sand grain in the desert. Workshops such as this fire up some of the lazy sections of the mind and feed my creativity.”

  • “I really liked that we heard such beautiful poems. I felt more connected to other authors around the world, and inspired to write more.”
