As humans, we all know pain. In this class, we will explore how intentionally putting words on the page can help us connect with healing. The word “heal” comes from the old English hǣlan (meaning “cure; save; make whole, sound and well.”). While writing may not cure or save us from physical or emotional ailments, writing can help us move toward wholeness. In this class we explore how the page can be a container for painful experiences, a doorway to refuge, and bridge to meaning. There will be ample time for in-class writing and opportunities to receive strengths-based feedback on work from the instructor.

This class is for all humans. No matter your writing experience or lived experience, you will find a soft place to land in this class and leave with practices that will support you on your creative, healing path.
