Wild Words

August 16 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Let your words be wildly free to express your heart’s desire.

Strengthen your connection to words and stories. Through movement, craft, and writing, actively honor your personal story while developing a relationship with the words you select to share your insights and journey. Connect with others who have a desire to courageously share their own writing. Gentle movement and activities will invite writers to get out of our heads and into our hearts to bring our words to life. All levels welcome.

Wild Words will meet on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, 2:30-4:30pm.

Wild Words will be taught by Victoria Rose, a summer resident of Stonington. Victoria is volunteering her time to teach Wild Words, and there is no fee to participate in the workshop. Donations accepted with 100% going to support SPL. Email SPL to register.

About the Instructor

Victoria’s relationship with words and stories has been both personal and professional. She initiated youth writing workshops in 1997 as a way to allow young writers the opportunity to write what they care about. The workshops continue to evolve while maintaining the essence of creating a sacred space for participants to listen to the stories that are asking to be written. Victoria Rose M.Ed. has been published in the Goose River Anthology, 2023, Urban News and Observer, Asheville Citizen­-Times, Fresh, Hudson River Sampler and Hudson Valley Literary Magazine. She taught Writing Memoirs at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. Her workshops have been offered at LEAF (Lake Eden Arts Festival, Black Mountain, NC), Montford Books & More (Asheville NC), and John C. Campbell Folk School. When she’s not writing, you can find her dancing or hiking.
