What it is:

Growing Forward Through Writing is designed to teach you to use expressive writing as a tool for your own personal healing. Just as one might develop a meditation or yoga practice, expressive writing is a special technique that, once made available to you, can help you  cope with stress and emotional upheaval you are currently experiencing, or heal old wounds and clear up patterns that are no longer serving you.  

In a safe, supportive environment, you will learn to explore writing in a new way that has nothing to do with style, grammar, spelling or how “good” you are. Under the guidance of of Daphne Gordon, you will be taken through the key steps and exercises of developing your own healing writing practice, that you can take with you and use for your benefit anywhere, anytime. 

This workshop does not require any prior experience with writing. It is for anyone pulled to writing in some way, whether you like to journal and are curious about exploring ways of expressing yourself, or are simply intrigued by the idea of starting to write. This is not a class to teach you how to write—this is a class to teach you how to help yourself heal—using pen, paper and mindfulness techniques.

What to bring:

 Please bring a notebook and your writing utensil of choice–pen, pencil, feather quill–whatever brings you joy! Please also make sure to wear comfortable clothing.
