The barrage of bad news can feel paralyzing. However, when anxiety and dread ramp up inside of us, we can always turn to the page. In this workshop, we will play with writing prompts designed to soothe, nourish, and empower the heart. There will be plenty of time for sharing in-class writing and for connecting with the intrinsic wisdom within each other. All the participants will receive a resource packet with work by a number of authors who inspire courageous living.
