MOLLY MOYLAN BROWN conducts live and online creative writing classes for an international audience of native and non-native English speakers. Molly brings her unique background as a writer, director, and performer to her workshops. Her methodology is based on the idea that we all contribute to, and are enhanced by, the larger, transformative ‘we’ that arises when we embrace our individual differences and celebrate our shared humanity through empowered self-expression and storytelling. In her creative writing and expressive arts classes with both experienced and emerging writers she often partners with other practitioners from the worlds of the expressive arts and healing practices to offer an enriching experience in personal transformation and community vitality.
