Creative Writing Workshops

Stories are the way we make sense of our lives and the complex experience of living. We tell stories to teach lessons, to practice ceremony, to figure things out, connect to other people, heal, love, make joy, find pleasure, find ourselves, map our relations, honor our traditions and histories, and stitch our worlds together. Sharing stories is a ceremony that recreates our aliveness in relation to place and others. Craft and poetics provides us strategies to create the worlds we want and need. Amrah provides craft talks and writing workshops for those who want to deepen their creative skills and engage in healing, transformational work.​
