Writing for Healing | Topic: Connection
August 1 @ 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 notebook and pen.
- Readiness to express and witness.
NO writing experience required!!
