Description:

This dynamic course invites you to engage in short, timed writing exercises (5–10 minutes each), followed by small group sharing and discussion. Prompts will surprise and inspire, encouraging spontaneous, stream-of-consciousness writing—free from concern for spelling, punctuation, or grammar. No editing, just creative flow. Writing short pieces has made me see the world in a different way, ideas are everywhere and perspective can change through sharing.Through this practice, you'll discover new perspectives, find ideas in unexpected places, and experience the joy of shared creativity. No experience necessary—just a willingness to write and have fun.

Instructor: Sandra Petrie came to Canada in 1962 having trained as a teacher in Scotland and worked in both public and private schools in Canada and in Scotland. Since retirement she has taught this course at Elder College for many years.
