How to Write About Life's Hard Stuff

Come write about the healing potential -- both in theory and practice -- of writing about challenges, losses, and brokenness in our lives. How to Write About Life's Hard Stuff is being offered as a fundraiser—all proceeds will be donated to TLAN. Drawing on the theory and practice of therapeutic writing as well as research and experience on how to write toward greater lightness and freedom, we'll experiment with several short writing prompts and discuss applications and ramifications. Moreover, we'll consider how to listen to our bodies in how and when to write about losses, challenges, and moments of brokenness in our lives. This class is very focused on guiding ourselves by our full wisdom and discernment, and we'll talk about how to bring that better in focus as we write.
