**Release Your Inner Writer**
**Release Your Inner Writer is for anyone who feels they are a writer, wants to be a writer, or those who want to explore writing in a comfortable and supportive setting. We’ll set the stage for you to write creatively with opportunities to share with the group, or not, whatever you’re comfortable with.**

Have you ever thought: “I have an interesting story, but I don’t know how to start sharing it with people”? Have you ever thought of writing a book? Do you simply want to start journaling? Every person has a story to share, and all of them are transformational for us and sometimes for others. When we write our thoughts and ideas down, we move internal content to an external device like a notebook or a laptop. By doing this we’re able to clear our heads and uncover one layer after another.

**Hosted by Kathy Nutt**
**Kathy Nutt** is a creative who uses many media and styles to convey a glimpse into her mysterious, whimsical world. Although mainly focused on the visual arts, she dabbles in the written word and is endeavoring to cultivate a consistent practice of writing, whether it be poetry, essays, short stories, or journaling.

Kathy believes a writing practice (along with any creative practice) is a beneficial way to break through the mundane and view our worlds through fresh new eyes. We may discover a breakthrough, change a pattern, or just experience catharsis. Or we may simply arrive in a place of joy. She believes the creative process is more important than the finished product and that creativity is for everyone, not just the gifted few.

**CREATING CONNECTION CANADA** is a network of welcoming and inclusive communities committed to sharing authentic conversation, nurturing meaningful activities, promoting holistic wellness practices, and fostering compassionate action. We are LGBTQ+ affirming. People of every walk of life, culture, faith, or tradition, participate in a myriad of connection groups, forming meaningful community within this diversity. As a result, these communities are multi-faceted - expressing the inspirations, aspirations, wisdom, practices, and blessing of all. While we encourage you to share openly, we ask that you do so in a kind and considerate manner.

**As a REGISTERED NON-PROFIT** charity working to bring community together through like-minded interests, we welcome and gratefully appreciate any financial support. Tax receipts are provided.

Our purpose here is just to set aside some time for inspiration and creativity and maintain a writing practice.

Haven - 20-minute contemplative meditation every Wednesday night

You are warmly invited into dialogue with Eileen one of our local organizers, and all who attend to discuss different topics each week while exploring some deeper questions along the way.

Come on out for **a new topic each week.** Meet new people, smile, laugh, chat, and enjoy the ambiance of this quaint little coffee shop together.
In this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment, dialogue is encouraged over debate as each person has opportunity to share from their own diverse perspectives and experiences.

Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.
**Aum Café in the Bonnie Doon Mall, Edmonton**

Happy Holidays! Let's celebrate the season with a community potluck. Whether you're a regular, a long-time-no-seer, or someone joining us for the first time, it will be a great opportunity to catch up, eat great food, and meet new people.

Bring along your favourite homemade dish or store bought food item and wear whatever you feel comfortable in. We have a kitchen with an oven to warm things up, as well as dishes and utensils for serving. Let us know in the comments below what you plan to bring. For those short on ideas, I will provide a list of suggestions a few days before with items we are missing.

I trust that the weather that day will be uneventful, but check here for updates if for any reason we need to postpone. I think that covers everything. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. Hope to see you there!

**LOCATION**:
To accommodate our growing numbers and need for a quieter space we will be meeting in a church community hall listed below (this is not a religious gathering).

Kitchener, ON N2M 4Y1

**NOTE**: The RSVPs here represent only some who may attend this recurring discussion group (such as 1st timers) along with regular attending members who may not RSVP here.

In this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment, dialogue is encouraged over debate. No particular set of beliefs (or creed) is required. Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.

See you there!
