Writing as Healing

Whether you're a patient, family member, friend, caregiver or health-care provider, you have a story to share. This group is a supportive place for you to express yourself through writing.  During group meetings, participants write and respond to each other's creative work.

Writing shapes,
molds and recasts
human experiences.

Writing with others is inspirational, fun and healing.  Come join with us as we write together and share our voices.

No experience in creative writing is required.  The intention of the workshop is to create a sense of freedom and excitement about writing. We are all writers. Discover and share with us your way and your voice.

Expressive Writing:
Reduces stress
Decreases symptoms
Strengthens immune systems
Shortens recovery periods
Improves family relationships
