Our online, Unspoken Ink: Creative Writing Workshop is designed to take you on a journey through your cancer diagnosis and into your survivorship with a small group of your young adult cancer patient/survivor peers. Normally the full writing workshop is an 8-week experience consisting of a weekly writing night attended via online video chat and address issues that transport us from initial diagnosis into the new normal and survivorship. This program is a 2-hour version of that workshop (Unspoken Ink Express)!
Where: Online video chat. We’ll send you more information about joining after you register. Please have a microphone headset and a webcam.
Who: 25 young adult cancer patients and survivors **facing metastatic breast cancer**
When: Thursday, October 15th @ 4:15-6:15 pm PT / 6:15-8:15 pm CT / 7:15-9:15 pm ET* via video chat. (*US time zones…please double check when to participate where you live!)
How does it work? Lacuna Loft will send you an email a few days before the workshop with information on how to join the video chat. ***You’ll need the link that we’ll provide you, a headset with a microphone, and a webcam.***
(Lacuna Loft considers anyone diagnosed with cancer, at any stage of the experience, to be a survivor!)
Unlike most of our creative writing workshop experiences, this specific workshop is ONLY for young adult cancer patients and survivors facing metastatic breast cancer. (If you are a young adult cancer patient or survivor facing a different diagnosis, we invite you to wait for the next workshop experience).
Supported by a grant from Seattle Genetics.
Writing Workshops Are Announced!
We have announced two writing workshops starting this month!
Unspoken Ink Express (formerly One Night Write) is a 2-hour, one-night version of our Unspoken Ink: Young Adult Cancer Creative Writing Workshop. It is scheduled for Sept 24th, 4-6 pm PT / 6-8 pm CT / 7-9 pm ET. Sign up here! You do not need to have participated in a full Unspoken Ink workshop to attend the Unspoken Ink Express. See it as a way of trying out the full workshop, without the 8-week time commitment!
The Fall 2020 Session of the Unspoken Ink: Young Adult Cancer Creative Writing Workshop starts Tuesday, September 29th, and will meet on Tuesdays at 4:30 pm PT / 6:30 pm CT / 7:30 pm ET for 2 hours for 8 weeks! The group will consist of 15 young adult cancer survivors and caregivers. Sign up here!
