Discover the power of reflective writing inspired by art guided by the founding instructor of the National Gallery of Art’s Writing Salon, Mary Hall Surface.

The experience of grief is universal and yet we often feel alone and unmoored when faced with loss. In this 90-minute online workshop, discover how reflective writing can offer a creative buoy for engaging with loss. Inspired by works of visual art and poetry, participants give words to grief through a gentle series of reflective writing prompts. Experience a process in which reflection and writing become a place of comfort and a space for holding sorrow as well as remembrance.

Surface is a teaching artist, playwright, theater director, and  museum educator. She presents workshops nationwide in creative writing and drama as a Kennedy Center teaching artist and was a faculty member at Harvard’s Project Zero Classroom.

The workshop has a limited enrollment to maximize interaction among the instructor and students.
