Uncommon Sense: A Writing Class With Jeanette LeBlanc

In This Class:

In this class Jeanette guides us into the tender places we’ve been circling but not naming. We write the questions behind the questions, the truths we are almost ready to admit, the love stories and heartaches still echoing in the body. Together we craft a “Dear Abby” style letter and then respond, either to our own ache or to someone else’s, practicing a steadier and more compassionate voice. This session feels like sitting at a long wooden table with women who are brave enough to tell the truth and gentle enough to answer it well. You’ll leave with prompts that keep unfolding long after the recording ends.
