Creative Voices: A 6-Week Writing Program for Women with ADHD with Amy Reyer

This 6-week course meets for 1.75 hours, from 6:00-7:45 p.m., on 4/16, 4/23, 4/30, 5/7, 5/14, and 5/21, in-person at the Hudson Valley Writers Center. Questions or wondering if it’s a fit? Reach out to Amy at [email protected]. Creative Voices is a co-creative environment for women with ADHD—where structure meets spontaneity and your ideas finally have room to run. Whether you’re drawn to memoir, essay, fiction, or poetry, this class offers an encouraging, judgment-free space to explore your voice and follow your creative flow wherever it leads. Along the way, you’ll also get practical, research-informed insights about how ADHD shows up in women—often in ways that are overlooked or misunderstood. We’ll gently reframe old stories of “not enough” and invite you to understand your mind in a more compassionate, nuanced way, while learning how to harness the strengths of an ADHD brain: originality, intuition, and out-of-the-box thinking. We’ll focus on storytelling, confidence, and connection—with a rhythm that works for the ADHD mind: lively discussions, short bursts of writing, and plenty of laughter along the way. You’ll leave each session with progress you can feel and a community that truly gets you.
