Writing instructor Elana Golden, a favorite with the Levantine Center, is teaching a series of four monthly workshops in creative writing for new and experienced writers, immigrants and non-immigrants, to be taken as a series or individually at the Levantine Cultural Center. The dates are:
Sun June 17 Sun July 22 Sun August 19 Sun Sept 16
Create a body of work, memoir or fiction, short stories or one longer piece in the workshop.
Writing with compassion toward yourself and your life's story, writer's block and limiting beliefs will diminish—resulting in authentic literature, self-knowledge, new insights into your family, community and culture, and in cathartic healing. You will learn and explore the skills of creative writing as you write and read your work in the group, receive effective feedback and partake in insightful discussions.
Levantine Cultural Center champions a greater understanding of the Middle East and North Africa by presenting artistic and educational programs that bridge political and religious divides.
