Writer's Bloc presents: Safe Handling

Safe Handling – Unpacking Our Stories One Piece of Baggage at a Time

Writing personal stories, especially revolving around shame, pain, or secrets can be intimidating. Yet accessing these narratives help create awareness, begin necessary conversations, and even open us to learning more about ourselves. Often, we seek personal narratives to make sense of our stories, to assign meaning to what is not easily expressed. This workshop series offers practical and empowering exploration into the process of writing through unpacking—our baggage, the things we carry, the items we leave behind.

Instructor Rebecca Evans, who has taught narrative writing, especially the difficult and disruptive stories, shares from her own experiences, navigating vulnerability that often surface while unpacking difficult narratives on the page. Through compassionate and gentle exploration, students will learn to re-frame experiences into craft that feels true and meaningful.
