Quotes
“The workshop was what I expected. I enjoyed the atmosphere and was comfortable sharing. A safe space was created for me to be open. The workshop gave me the opportunity to think and express myself through writing as well as orally.”
— J. Stratford
Educator
“The workshop felt open and non-judging. Questions were asked that I didn’t think to ask myself. I journaled things to myself that I wasn’t aware of until questions were asked. This workshop was not what I expected. I thought it would be a chance to get back into journaling. I wasn’t expecting it to feel like a safe space. People shared willingly and their thoughts brought on more self-awareness questions to ask myself. With the questions asked and no pressure put onto me, I was able to express myself. Me and my journal. I’m going to continue my writing/entries I started.”

“I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a great experience of finding out the inner me. All that I was thinking and feeling about myself, I was able to write it down and read it out loud and found out a little more about me and my feelings and looked at things differently. I saw how I was and what I’m trying to become and it felt good. It really was good because I really saw a difference within me and I wasn’t going to participate at first, but I’m glad I did.“
