When: The next online gathering will be Tuesday, February 11 at 8pm EST / 5pm PST on Zoom. The event is free; you can register here.
What:In February, the topic will be, “Speaking Your Writing into Being.”
Description: During this session, participants will explore the power of the spoken word as a tool for creativity. Our guest speaker, author Roger Hutchison, will draw on insights from his own experience using a dictation app to write his recent book for adults, The Art of Calm. Discover how to harness your thoughts, break free from traditional writing barriers, and embrace a new way of crafting your stories. This session is especially relevant for neurodiverse individuals looking to express their unique voices, but it is open to all writers.
Our February speaker: Roger is a best-selling author, illustrator, and multi-talented creative communicator. He is also a lay ministry leader in the Episcopal Church. Roger is known for his compassionate work with children affected by tragedy, and for his openness about his personal journey with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. His writing, art, and photography aim to bring healing and hope to a world in need. You can listen to a recent interview with Roger here.
