Diving into Shadows and Light: The Joy of Writing Our Grief Workshop w Ed Sage | Sep 8 - Oct 13 | Zoom

In this generative workshop we will reimagine our losses and bring light to the shadows. This creative exploration provides moments of great joy and connection. It is so satisfying to interrupt the stubborn "arrangements" in our psyches that are not serving us well. Writing consciously about grief has the potential to stir greater compassion for ourselves and others. You can expect to discover new threads in your work that inspire and energize fresh creative commitments and old dormant intentions.

Led by Ed Sage, Teaching Fellow at the Attic Institute.

Ed Sage's writing appears in ZYZZYVA, Verseweavers, The Portland Review, 4th Street Journal, The Ponder Review, Plainsongs, BULL Lit and The Passionfruit Review.

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
