Originally designed for songwriters, this workshop
is perfect for ANYBODY who wants to write more freely and creatively.
All levels welcome.

(Monica will be available for an extra hour specifically for songwriters who are interested in song work).

This workshop is designed to break through the blocks and defenses that prevent us from expressing ourselves easily and authentically. Through a series of fun, in-class exercises we will dig though our own memories, experiences and impressions, using prompts, collage and free-writing to inspire us. The idea is to work on painting pictures with words, using all of our sense memories to describe our narratives more vividly.

Though this workshop was originally designed for songwriters, many non-songwriters and so-called "non-writers" have found the experience to be incredibly satisfying, inspiring and even therapeutic. Monica's workshops are attended by professionals, beginners and everything in-between!
We ALL have stories to tell!
