Join us for an afternoon of expressive writing with author and poetry therapist, Jennie Chapman Linthorst. Jennie will do a reading from her two books of poetry, and lead us through an inspiring journal writing exercise guaranteed to be a unique, memorable experience for all. Her readings will provide inspiration for each of us to think about moments from our lives and the writings that live within us, and then to explore writing in our own voice. We will have the opportunity to share our writings with the group.
