Expressive Art & Writing Workshops

The Caregiver Project is an online writing workshop for those who, in caring for others, may have lost core facets of their former lives, cherished activities, or social supports, and who are experiencing stress or isolation as a result.

You do not need to consider yourself a writer to join, or to benefit from these workshops: The AWA Method has a proven track record of holding safe, generative, and supportive space for both writers and writing to flourish.

The Caregiver Project is open to personal and professional caregivers who are currently providing care, and those who have provided care in the past; to those who provide daily care and those who provide care less frequently; to those who are caring for someone they live with and those who provide care from afar: all caregiving experiences are welcome. Connect, express yourself, and feel affirmed through bearing witness, and having your voice heard: you are not alone.

What to Expect:

The sessions are offered via Zoom and are guided by the AWA Method. During these two hours, you’ll write to a prompt or two provided by the facilitator(s). You will then break into small, facilitated groups to read aloud what you’ve just written (reading aloud is not required, though it is encouraged). If you choose to share, you will receive positive, affirmative feedback from the small group.

A writing workshop for women

• What has your body learned that your younger self could not have imagined?
• What have you lost—and what have you quietly gained?
• Where have you become invisible, and where have you never been more yourself?
• What truths are asking to be spoken now, before they harden into silence?

This writing workshop invites women to write into the tender, complicated territory of aging—not as a problem to solve, but as a landscape to enter.

Through carefully shaped prompts and unhurried writing time, we’ll explore the textures of this age: the griefs that arrive without ceremony, the freedoms that come when certain expectations finally loosen their grip, the ways time sharpens both longing and clarity.

We will write:

• About the body as it is now.
• About memory, inheritance, anger, tenderness, and relief.
• About what no longer fits—and what, at last, does.

You don’t need polished stories or answers. You don’t need to be brave in advance.
You only need to be willing to listen for what this season of life is asking you to tell.

Grief touches every life, yet it can be difficult to speak about; our daily social interactions may not have a place where talking about what is so present for us feels welcome.

But when we write about our losses in an AWA method workshop, we begin to uncover the strength, wisdom, and tenderness that live within those losses. 

This workshop is an invitation to turn toward your grief with curiosity and courage, to find words for what matters most, and to discover how your stories can bring comfort and connection. 

Together, we will create a community where each voice is valued, and where writing becomes a powerful path toward recovery and renewal.

Workshops in the AWA method have been demonstrated to reduce isolation and loneliness through capturing and sharing stories an affinity group of writers who share similar challenges.

Write From Your Heart is an expressive writing workshop for women, that provides a safe and welcoming space for healing, empowerment and self-discovery through writing, reading our words and deep listening. 

It’s about self-expression, not being a good writer. 

Each workshop starts with a creative prompt that fires your imagination. Then you write about anything that comes to mind. Finally, everyone reads their work out loud (optional, but recommended), and receives positive, thoughtful feedback from fellow participants.

You’ll feel heard and supported as you connect with yourself and the others. Insight, laughter and even tears are hallmarks of the sessions.
