Instructor Statement:

Writing empowers ourselves and others. The writing classroom creates the environment for writers to ruminate on their observations in a safe space. This gift can change the how we experience the world and our place upon this planet. When we travel, we gain new perceptions, and coming home we need a way to marinate on these experiences. Writing processes these journeys, opening doors to the value of travel as a means of evolving.
