What Is The Write Path?

Living is a Creative Endeavor

- The Write Path is Two Paths with One Destination – Self-awareness leads to confidence, which teaches us to trust our creative impulses. Likewise, when we exercise creative muscles, self-knowledge and confidence follow. Regardless of whether you join us to gain self-knowledge or to enhance your creative endeavors, the Write Path leads to exciting and meaningful territory.

- A Path to Personal Knowledge - Writing helps make sense of life and uncovers your organic wisdom. More like play than therapy, writing in a confidential group helps develop emotional flexibility, trust, and the courage to design a life that makes sense.

- A Path to Creative Expression - Everyone is creative, but we often lose sight of our innate imagination. Write Path classes prompt you to take risks, make mistakes, and have fun. When criticism is absent, imagination comes home.

- Classes For Journal Writers, Creative Writers, Beginning and Experienced Writers
