Melissa Greene, founder and teacher of Write From The Heart Creative Writing Workshops, in Lancaster, is now offering workshop retreats aimed at bringing families together to share the joys of creating. The workshops are devoted to supporting fun, camaraderie and connection through the arts. Families of all sizes are welcome. 

With a mission to keep the warmth of humanity in teaching, Greene introduced creative writing as a therapeutic path to playfulness, calm and deeper self-understanding. Her coaching combines compassion with a touch of mischief, to illuminate the wonder, beauty and hope that lies within. 

Classes are a safe haven for all levels, where writing––without fear––becomes fun, freeing and a catalyst for courage and self-esteem. “The retreats are the best family reunion you’ll ever have!,” notes one mother. There are no grades, grammar or red pen. Sharing is optional. Greene, who has mentored writers of all ages since 2001, enthuses, “Sharing may be optional, but humor is a must.”
