Writing for Peace

“It was eye-opening and inspiring to see how people express themselves creatively.”

Dasha M., June 22, 2023

“I found the workshop restorative, a balm for my troubled soul. The instructor quickly creates a sense of community and space for everyone. Very positive experience. My concept of peace was greatly expanded listening to all the writers read or show their work, and so I am reading widely as a result of the workshop.”

“I really appreciated the Ukrainian writers, reading their own material, as well as the translated versions; it was so nicely done. The workshop was a safe yet creative space for all the participants.”

“I very much appreciated the openness and trust between everyone participating. I learnt that there are a hundred different ways to express our thoughts and feelings. To say nothing only compounds a sense of sadness and isolation. So, there is comfort to be had in finding a way to use any creative means possible to acknowledge what is going on in our world, and not shy away.”
