Writing Your Story: Finding Emotional Freedom in Writing

Feelings of overwhelm are common in today's hectic world. Writing is a way to calm your mind and access the truths you want to share with the world. My goal as a writer and as a teacher is to help others feel less alone and give them the tools they need to help tell their own story. In this session, we'll use reflective writing exercises to help us get started telling our own stories and discuss how writing can be used as a tool to help us process our lives. You will walk away with a new journal, fresh ideas, and a better idea of what story needs to be told.
