Our friends at The Barton Public Library are hosting these workshops!

The library will be hosting Writers for Resilience workshops!

Bess O’Brien from Kingdom County Productions will run a series of writing workshops on Wednesday May 20th, 27th and June 3rd at 4pm. All are welcome!

These workshops will follow a seven-minute prompt and give folks a space to write freely and share their stories with one another. The workshop will be focused on people’s daily life, inspirations, struggles and persistence resilience that we all share.

Bess founded Writers for Recovery ten years ago as part of her award-winning documentary film The Hungry Heart. WFR serves hundreds of people each year in Vermont through writing in the prisons, recovery centers and residential treatment centers. WFR also has a series of on-line workshops that include writers from around the world.

Writers for Resilience is a new project from Writers for Recovery providing storytelling workshops to communities and offering space to share personal and community resilience in today’s often divided and challenging times.

Workshops are FREE. Everyone is invited. Drop ins are welcome! For more information contact the Barton Public Library at 802-525-6524 or [email protected]. For more information on WFR go to Writersforrecovery.org.
