Please join the Historic Joy Kogawa House and Word Vancouver for a writing workshop with Wayne Ng to discover ways to use writing to create, heal and find oneself.
Workshop: Writing with Emotion, Purpose, and Hope
Thursday September 14, 2023 from 7-8:30pm at Historic Joy Kogawa House or Zoom
Art is like therapy. Emotional clarity drives both. For decades, Wayne Ng has worked as a social worker in schools. He has run writing groups and delivered discussions on using art as a career pathway, to create, to heal, and to find oneself. Writing is a great vehicle to accomplish this as the strongest craft has elements of self-discovery.
This workshop for emerging writers offers introductory level, hands-on writing prompts that encourage participants to draw from their gut, using self-awareness and emotion in writing scenes and developing character.
