Description

They say “Grief is love with no place to go.” But what if there was a place to put your grief? What if you could put your grief on the page? This workshop will showcase the transformative and healing power of writing about death, dying, and loss. You will be guided with simple prompts that encourage you to explore your feelings as honestly and as comfortably as you so choose. You’ll learn how to tell hard stories while connecting with your creative energy.
