SUMMARY:Writing to Heal 2025
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:Writing to Heal Lindsey Pope is the author of five books, a speaker and workshop leader, and a busy mom who is passionate about sharing love, laughter, and healing through writing. She developed Writing to Heal based on her own experience coming out of a mental health crisis with severe anxiety and depression. Lindsey used this method of writing in her own healing and found it so helpful and transformative that she felt called to share it with others. In this interactive program, Lindsey invites participants to use writing as a method for healing. Research has shown that journaling positively affects people’s mental health by lowering anxiety, stopping rumination cycles, and increasing self-awareness (source: www.webmd.com/mental-health/mental-health-benefits-of-journaling ). While writing is a free activity that can be done at any time and any place, some people need a little help getting started. Lindsey provides engaging exercises and writing prompts to help people get started in a way that’s comfortable for them, while also encouraging participants to open up in an emotionally safe environment. Participants will engage in a variety of individual and group exercises and also learn strategies to continue this practice on their own time. No prior writing or journaling experience is needed for this evening of self-care, laughter, and healing through writing.
