The spiral – a rich symbol, with connotations of rebirth, intuition, and change.
This class will focus on creative writing as a tool for self-exploration and growth, with special attention paid to the labyrinth and its spiraling imagery.

We will generate creative writing in different forms -both prose and poetry – as well as consider hybridity in writing.
