Melissa Greene is offering her Write From the Heart women’s introductory workshop, Writing Without Fear, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on five Mondays from September 9 through October 7, 2024, online via Zoom. There are no grades, grammar or judgment, and sharing is optional.

Since 2002, her gentle classes have guided even the most timid to feel the joy of self-expression. She says, “Placing our pen to paper grounds our hearts and minds in the present moment. For two hours a week, writing connects us to ourselves and each other.”

With warmth and humor, Greene inspires students to move beyond self-consciousness and perfectionism. “Creating means goofing around, taking chances, letting ourselves be surprised, laughing a little and being delighted for delight’s sake.”

Greene also teaches private sessions and leads writing support workshops for cancer patients at Penn Medicine/Lancaster General Health, Reading Hospital and the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

For fees and registration, call 717-393-4713 by September 5. For more information, email Melissa@WriteFromTheHeart.us or visit WriteFromTheHeart.us.
