The Art of Facilitating Workshops

Your love of writing can inspire others to find greater meaning, creativity, and joy! Your connection to your community and/or to learning communities around you can also lead to rich opportunities to help others write and find community in the process. It can also help you enhance your livelihood.

Facilitating writing workshops in your community, school, or college can bring immense satisfaction and a means to earn income. Discover some of the best practice for facilitating community-building sessions—ones in which people feel free to take healthy creative risks, listen more deeply to both each other and their own writing, and craft powerful prose or poetry. In addition to focusing on best facilitation practices, we’ll also discuss how to find potential venues and groups for offering your own workshop, as well as the relationship between teaching and facilitation. And we’ll do some creative writing ourselves!
