Pain and rage are a part of life. Many things cause them: divorce, the death of a loved one, moving, retirement, changing careers, entering school or the workforce again, or your kids leaving home. So many questions, feelings, doubts, limiting beliefs, and obstacles come up while dealing with these emotions. But writing gives us powerful tools to use these feelings as fuel.

In this workshop we will learn 8 writing self-care and stress relief tools that lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves. Together, we will tap into the way writing can be used to reframe what are mostly considered negative emotions and circumstances.
