Writing for Healing: Curiosity as a Practice

November 27 @ 11:00 am 12:30 pm Costa Rica Timezone

Writing can be a tool for healing, integration and self-regulation, as well as creative expression and discovery. We will explore the creative process of writing and share our written words to digest our experiences and heal—both individually and as a group.

Toby Israel, writer, editor and facilitator, will guide a group process known as a “writing jam” to invite creative expression in a safe and judgment-free space.

Participants need:

  • a pen and paper,
  • a willingness to share and discover.

NO writing experience required!!
