Writing Ourselves Whole
Writing Ourselves Whole consists of writing workshops for women survivors of sexual trauma and erotic writing workshops open to all -- We exist in the service of transforming trauma and/or struggles around sexuality into art, and creating spaces in which individuals may come to recognize the artist/writer within.

Writing Ourselves Whole consists of writing workshops for women survivors of sexual trauma and erotic writing workshops open to all -- We exist in the service of transforming trauma and/or struggles around sexuality into art, and creating spaces in which individuals may come to recognize the artist/writer within. 8-week workshops begin quarterly; single session (weekend day) introductory sessions offered as well! Workshop descriptions: ~ Tuesday evenings: Declaring Our Erotic -- Open to all sexualities and genders! Get more comfortable exploring and talking about sexual desires, celebrate the varied and complex aspects of your sexual self, and, of course, try your hand at some explicit erotic writing! ~ Wednesday mornings! Raw Silk: Women write desire -- Open to all women. Join other women as we wrap ourselves in the language of longing, celebrating the complex textures of sensuality. We'll delve further into interweaving of our desires: memory, fantasy, experience, relationship with the body, spirituality, and more! ~ Monday evenings: Write Whole-Survivors Write -- Open to women survivors of sexual trauma. Deep-heart writing, dealing with such subjects as: body image, family/community, sexuality, dreams, love, faith, and more. We create new art and new beauty out of the difficult and complicated realities of our lives. You'll leave each workshop with a rich body of new creative writing and feedback from your peers about what's already strong in your work. All workshops held in our convenient Flood Building office, right off the Powell Street BART stop, in San Francisco. Contact jennifer@writingourselveswhole.org with questions or to register!
