Expressive writing:

  • Decreases symptoms
  • Strengthens immune systems
  • Shortens recovery periods
  • Improves family relationships

Pre-registration is required. Must be 18 years or older to attend.

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.
