Dan Goodwin - Finding Your Voice Through Poetry
Join Dan Goodwin for a creative poetry workshop exploring storytelling through words. Through a series of guided writing exercises and prompts, participants will discover how poetry can be a powerful way to express themselves, reflect on their experiences, and connect with others. No previous writing experience is needed. This workshop is about creativity, curiosity, and finding your own voice.
