Write your way to RELIT

This workshop will teach you how to use writing to explore your experiences and feelings, and will show you how to tell your story in a way that will help others as well as yourself. Facilitated by the editors of RELIT: How to Rekindle Yourself in the Darkness of Compassion Fatigue, it is open to anyone who has some processing to do—compassion fatigue, life direction, parenting or caregiving, personal healing… whatever you’re facing.

Writing in a journal can be therapeutic, healing, and illuminating. Journaling gives us the opportunity to pause, reflect, and put down in words how we feel right now, and what we think about things going on in our lives.

Going a step farther to share your writing with others can give you a more precise clarity and deeper understanding of your own story. Journaling is an expression of your own internal dialog; writing for others is storytelling.

This workshop gives you a safe space to explore, expand, and hone both your story and your storytelling skills. It’s not a support group; it’s a supportive group, facilitated by an experienced author and certified coach, using a tried-and-true model.

How it works

Registration is required and is limited to ensure everyone gets personal attention. We’ll introduce ourselves, have a short writing instruction, and follow that with quiet writing time. Then, participants may read what they’ve written and receive supportive commentary back from the facilitator and other participants.

Workshops take place via Zoom on the fourth Tuesday of every month, from 7pm to 9pm Eastern (4pm to 6pm Pacific). Register through this link or the button below.
