[POSTPONED to July 15!] Writing Workshop: The Power of Story with Eleanor

When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.

## If there's a part of you that has been holding onto a story quietly - waiting for the right moment to write it, speak it, or even start to name it — this workshop is for you.

## Hi, I'm Eleanor!

I invite you to a 90-minute in-person writing workshop: The Power of Story — a space where you can be yourself, write freely, connect with others... and discover your voice.

This workshop is for you if:

• You're craving deeper creativity but feel stuck in your head.
• You're holding onto a story that deserves to be told more honestly.
• You want to write with others in a space that feels brave and authentic.

Title: The Power of Story

Location: Madeira Friends Hub
Cost: Free

What you can expect:

• Guided writing prompts that uncover the "usual" versions of your story.
• Partner and group sharing, grounded in care and reflection.
• Rituals that foster trust, quiet your inner critic, and encourage you to speak your truth.

You don't need to be a "writer." You just need to want to be honest.

Stories can help us connect.
Stories can help us grow.
Stories can heal.

## Your story matters. Write it with us.

To maintain intimacy and connection, space is limited. Twelve seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority is given to members of SU&W! Madeira.

Reserve your spot HERE!

Your story matters.

Hope to see you there,
Eleanor
