Unseen: A Virtual Writing Workshop with author Rachael Cerrotti (Online)

We are thrilled to welcome back award-winning author Rachael Cerrotti! Join Rachael virtually for a 3-part writing workshop that digs into the unseen but essential elements of our day-to-day lives. The classes will be a chance for participants to tap into memories from long ago while also focusing on life as it is unfolding today. There will be a focus on slowing down, seeing our world through a more creative lens, and finding joy and reflection in quiet moments. For those who are familiar with Rachael’s work, you know to expect an infusion of family history and memoir writing. The classes will be a combination of inspiration, conversation and writing prompts, with a goal of participants leaving each session feeling like they have created a keepsake for their personal archives. Photographs and other forms of visual storytelling will also be a guide.

You do not need to have any writing experience to join this workshop! All ages welcome.

This course follows a sequential structure, and participants are encouraged to attend all sessions. If you are interested in joining once the course has begun, please contact the program leader.
