Generative Writing Workshop

Writing Workshop Led by Rebecca, certified Gateless Facilitator

“When you reach out and touch other human beings, it doesn’t matter whether you call it therapy or teaching or poetry.” ~Audre Lorde

Carving out time for yourself to write is difficult, if you might be like me. There is always something needing attention. The truth is, when you’re a writer, you are the one needing attention. Let me help to inspire you, create community among us, and help to unearth the writing that’s inside.

With generative prompts and inspiration that I will provide each time we meet we will support each other with writing time reserved for us. I will invite writers to share what they created within our time together, with feedback following the Gateless method. Created by Suzanne Kingsbury, Gateless is specifically designed to focus on the positive, the potent, and what we as other writers would love to hear more of. I will guide the group facilitating this powerful yet gentle psychological methodology centering more on the writing than the writer.

This workshop has a sliding scale of $10-$20. Please pay what you are able. We will meet every Tuesday, besides holidays, snowy weather, and the unforeseen illnesses. HotLips Pizza on Hawthorne Blvd is very generous to let us use their event room before their open hours. Please use the door closest to the dry cleaners; I will have a sign to help direct everyone. I am able to accept PayPal.me/RebeccaLynne and Venmo @Rebecca-Smolen or cash.

All are welcome at all writing levels but no intolerances will be tolerated. Please message me if you have any questions or concerns and visit my website as well: RebeccaWritesPDX.squarespace.com
