All Ways Writing Circle

The All Ways Writing Circle offers time, space, community, and inspiration to get some writing done. This is for anyone who wants to write—in any genre—and would benefit from dedicated time. Facilitated by our rotating facilitators Kelly Jo Lillian, Kirsten Meehan, Collin Stephens, and Tedo Wyman (among other guest facilitators), participants will be offered a prompt, approximately 45 minutes to write, then a chance to share their work in a warm and supportive group setting. No experience needed, all genres welcome. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Our venue is Creative Arts Workshop, 171 Main Street Nyack, NY.
