10715 Writing as an Act of Healing   

Many of us have experienced events that have caused suffering. Louise DeSalvo says that to heal, we must write about events and emotions at the same time, creating a meaningful narrative. In this workshop, we will honor these experiences by creating short healing narratives. After a weeklong break, we will meet in conversation. Participants may share their stories in a supportive environment.

Recommended reading: After Effects: A Memoir of Complicated Grief by Andrea Gilats (University of Minnesota Press, 2022; Writing as a Way Of Healing by Louise DeSalvo (HarperCollins, 1999)
