Events › Stuck in an Eddy? Restoring Flow to your Creative Practice with Andrea Routley

In this workshop, we will explore ways to restore flow to your creative writing practice—or to introduce it for the first time. Through the lens of an expressive arts approach, participants will cultivate or renew a relationship with creative writing through in-session writing/arts-based activities. While no experience is required, these sessions are also relevant to experienced writers looking to expand their creative practice.

This class is generously funded by the Canadian Poetry Fund a local donor-advised fund which fosters accessible public educational outreach for poetry and other forms of creative writing through the services of the Vancouver Public Library.
