An Amherst writers and artists group, led by Kathy Kane, a certified Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach® and an Amherst Writers and Artists affiliate, will begin an eight-week session this month. Held at the Room Above, 2 East Main St., in Brookside, the daytime sessions start on Tuesday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and evening sessions begin Wednesday, May 11, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Space is limited to between eight and ten people per session, and registration is required. The fee is $180. The classes are intended to offer writers of all experience levels the opportunity to explore their own voice, find inspiration, and develop their writing practice in a safe, nurturing circle. Writers will work from prompts and be invited to read what they’ve written. In the reading and the listening, in the sharing of voices, participants will find and affirm what is working and give and receive feedback that supports each newly created piece.
