1:30 P.M. – 3:30 P.M.   WORKSHOP SESSION

Write to the Heart of Grief / Claire Willis - Zoom Nothing can arouse stronger feelings in any of us than being told "You have cancer.”  With that diagnosis often comes fear accompanied by many layers of loss: loss of our previous identity, of certainty in our future, loss of our work, previously held roles as a parent, loss of income, and loss of our strength and confidence. Our unexpressed grief can be a big source of stress as we try to hold our life together. There is considerable research suggesting that journaling 3-4 times a week for up to six weeks about things that bother us can actually improve our immune system and reduce our stress. Bring your journal and your favorite pen and join us in learning a variety of ways to jumpstart your writing and begin to open your heart to the grief you carry. We will build a trusting and supportive community together. You may even walk away feeling less alone, and a bit lighter, clearer and happier. *Meeting has a capacity of 40 participants. If you are unable to join, the meeting may be full.  ​Available through Zoom at: Join Zoom Meeting: https://zoom.us/j/95291656994?pwd=c0lFa2lzVmxkRm5sSDdHaUIwVnY1UT09 Meeting ID: 952 9165 6994 Password: 042263
