In this three-week generative writing series, we will craft stories based on the topic of teshuvah, returning to our truest, inner self. We will focus on turning points, cherished objects, memories, rituals, and meaningful relationships. Participants will have the opportunity to share work in an intimate, supportive, non-critical environment. 

The workshop will be held over Zoom.
