Poet Davis hosting workshop
Chaplain and poet Will Davis (“Tethered Wrds”) will lead a community workshop on reflection and restorative writing as opportunity to breathe again, speak truth, and let go of what has weighed you down.
This workshop is an invitation to speak life back into those places, to honor the parts of you that were stretched or wounded in the process. Words can be used as swords by hurt, but they can also become a shield, a balm, and a path toward healing. Come ready to write, release, and rebuild.
This is an in-person writers workshop, held at the Pat Conroy Literary Center at 601 Bladen Street in Beaufort on Saturday, Jan. 17, from 10 a.m. to noon. Event is limited to 15 participants with advance registration; free to attend. Please call 843-379-7025 to reserve your spot.
