Guided Autobiography is both a group and individual process. Thematically-driven questions offered weekly provide a direction for two pages of life-story, written in-between sessions. These writings are then read in the group where affirming feedback is encouraged. This dynamic process provides participants the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their resilience and the new life they are building. I am a licensed clinical social worker, therapist and writer. My profes …

Do you like to write? If yes, do you find it difficult to make time to sit down and write? This is a meetup group for people to get together and, well, write. The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week. For 1-2 hours (or however long you can stay) we sit down and write quietly. Once a month we'll get together afterwards to talk about our writing or just socialize. I'm not interested in critiquing, lectures, and the like.

This is a guided writing group. Each week we write two pages on an assigned topic and read it aloud at group. The focus is on symbolic writing that explores the depths of our unconscious minds through narrative writing.

Based on concepts from the work of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Marie Louise Von Franz, Marion Woodman, and other autho …

As Artists and Writers of all kinds, we need to find a balance between creative self-expression and quality time spent with our children. This group is a venue for artists and parents to form a community in which our school-aged children can play, and we can take time to talk in person with other creative people. This emerging group is for parents interested in making caring friends, sharing our talents with children, and relaxing in a supportive group. Let us find places to visit with our child …

The aim of this Manhattan-based group is to serve as a social outlet for creativity, and to produce fun-to-watch short films of acceptable quality for the film festival circuit. No experience necessary! We may not produce as impressive a product as we want, but we’ll make movies, learn a lot, and we’ll have fun. Films will be written and directed by its members, and we’ll decide collectively which will be the next project. Any collective, and certainly this one, will require frequent compromise, …

Writers mostly write. Besides writing, the second most important act is submitting. I'd like to meet once a month with a group of writers who are submitting their work.  During this meeting we can exchange ideas about motivation, where to submit certain kinds of work and the mechanics of submitting material. We can map out strategies for submitting work and make committments to the group about the process.

It seems that whenever anything "artsy" is going on in NYC it's always happening in Manhattan or somewhere in Brooklyn these days. So where are all the artists who live in Queens? Queens is the most diverse borough in NYC so it only seems logical that we be the most creative, innovative, well-rounded and artsy bunch. The purpose of this group is to get all you artists, writers, photographers, musicians, filmmakers, and performers who live in this most amazing borough together and support each ot …
