The six-week writing workshop, Re-Storying Your Life is now offered in the daytime as well as the evening.
Join a small group and explore how writing has the potential to guide and empower you through difficult times of grief, loss or pain.
All of our lives are rich with stories that define who we are. Writing about these key events can help us to heal from wounds in the present or the past. Expressive writing opens up our hearts and minds to the present moment, just as it is, not as a postscript to the past or a prelude to the future.
Studies show that depressive symptoms, rumination and general anxiety tend to drop in the weeks and months after writing about emotional upheavals.
Learn how to heal yourself through safe, guided writing exercises.
You will also be introduced to the practice of mindfulness, a strategy to help us live in the moment.
No previous writing experience is required just a desire to express, explore and heal yourself.
The workshop is run by psychologist Gail Rice and costs $300*
