Back by popular demand! HLSL is delighted to welcome Kathleen Charles<\/strong> back to the region with the QWF StoryScaping program in Fall 2026, for writing workshops in M\u00e9tis-sur-Mer and Rimouski.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is poetry, really? What makes it enjoyable, and how do you begin writing something you could call a poem? How can you use your sensory experiences to create poetry? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop will explore different accessible ways to begin writing a poem by immersing participants into all of their senses. Our main tools will be our senses, and we will hone them with short writing exercises. They will be our portals to self-expression and connection with others through creative writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will leave the workshop with new writing they can share with their loved ones and new tools to nurture a creative writing practice. This workshop will be adaptable to the needs and abilities of all participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials to awaken the senses will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own writing or art-making supplies as well. Expect a workshop filled with new experiences, playfulness, joy, and the power of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
