Healing and Transformation: A Writing Journey

Writing is a powerful tool of healing—for both physical and emotional health—and can be used effectively as part of a holistic care model that integrates the arts into healing. This workshop will open your eyes to your and your patients’ potential for healing and transformation during times of loss, illness, and transition. Designed as a one-to two- hour workshop, “Healing and Transformation: A Writing Journey” also may be presented as a one- to three-day residency for patients, caregivers, and health professionals with any level of writing and professional experience.
