Dream Catchers Compassion Writing Experience
This workshop provides a creative, compassionate and reflective experience for underrepresented, vulnerable, teens in foster care, teen shelters, group homes or juvenile detention centers. We use writing, discussion, critical thinking, reflection and presentation as a strategy to teach youth how to effectively use their voice as their power.
Teens learn how to use writing as a tangible manifestation of the chaos that lives inside their heads and hearts and how to change their worlds with it. Dream catchers are the motif that puts participants at the center of their dreams and helps them strengthen their commitment to becoming critical thinkers who are open-minded, reflective, caring, balanced and principled.
This workshop also gives teens access to the viable career options that exist in writing and reveals the therapeutic effect the act of writing can have. This practice will enable teens to work out his or her problems in writing instead of allowing them to choke on them emotionally or mentally. Their dreams began to turn into reality and when the compassion experience is over, what's left is a Dream Catcher to remind them, a compassionate experience to reflect upon, a writer's notebook to express within, and the inspiring encounter of uncommon bonds sharing common dreams.
Literary Citizenship. Before working with teens, our Teaching Artists are required to undergo a thorough background check and complete our rigorous training program.
