Calendar Next available session starts May 6, 2025 at 6 pm, runs for 3 weeks

Have you ever toyed with the idea of writing a story or two? Maybe you’ve lived an interesting life, maybe you’re a storyteller at heart, maybe you just love the thought of putting pen to paper and letting your imagination fly! If any part of this sounds intriguing, this might be the class for you. Over a period of three weeks you will hear how I, a formed science teacher and intuitive healer, learned how to tap into my creative self and found the confidence to write my recently published memoir, “When My Mother was a Mountain.” Join me as I show you how to quiet your logical mind and slip into your creative center so you can access the artistic parts of you. Each of us has unique, creative abilities as well as varying degrees of confidence and experience. As a teacher for over forty years I have learned how to create a supportive and stimulating class environment. This “hands-on” class is for all ability levels and it will be loaded with surprises. Our focus will be on the basics of the “story” and not grammar/style. Come with a large notebook and pen and be ready to explore areas of your creativity you never imagined. Join Regina Strongheart, author and owner of Forest Circles: A center for Community, Nature Programs and Healing. Check out Forestcircles.com. Class dates are: 5/6, 5/13, 5/20.
