Veteran Writes: Healing and Joy by Writing Our Truth
This writing class will focus on encouraging participants to write freely.
Writing encourages healing and increases confidence and radical self-acceptance. This class will focus on engaging the imagination while revealing our thoughts and feelings on our life experiences.
Since writing can be helpful in finding personal fulfillment, this class will open up creative skills to self-reflect and heal while being supported by peers. We will write to be expressive and use it for our personal exploration. The writing activities introduced through this class will demonstrate how spontaneous expressions can help us gain compassionate perspectives towards ourselves and others.
