MOLINE, ILLINOIS (June 16, 2022) — Gilda’s Club is hosting a free educational workshop entitled “Creative Writing = Emotional Health” for anyone impacted by cancer on Thursday, June 30, 2022, 6-8PM, at Gilda’s Club Quad Cities Moline Clubhouse located at 600 John Deere Road, Suite 101, Moline, Illinois, 61265 and via Zoom.
This creative/expressive-writing workshop will help bring out your inner writer whether you've written books, articles, poems, or kept a private journal, or if you've even just thought about one day writing, this workshop will set the foundation to begin or continue your writing journey. You’ll learn about such things such as: Knowing your audience, determining what format best suits you, basic writing practices, basics of structure, flow, showing vs telling, and more.
Come learn, explore your creative side, and express yourself in a judgement-free environment, where you will connect deeply with your inner self, feel empowered, and heal.
Workshop will be led by David Richman, an author, public speaker, and endurance athlete whose mission is to form more meaningful human connections through storytelling. His first book, Winning in the Middle of the Pack, discussed how to get more out of ourselves than ever imagined. With Cycle of Lives, Richman shares stories of people overcoming trauma and delves deeply into their emotional journey with cancer. Richman is also a ghostwriter for both fiction and non-fiction works, a book coach, and teaches workshops on creative writing. He continues to do iron-man triathlons and recently completed a solo 4,700-mile bike-ride.
This program is being offered hybrid. Participants can register to attend in-person or virtually via Zoom. The Presenter will be joining us virtually and will not be present in-person. Registration is REQUIRED. Workshop will be held at the Moline Clubhouse at 600 John Deere Road, Suite 101, Moline, Illinois, 61265.
