The Arts of Wellness: Writing Through Grief

Wednesday, December 2, 5:30-7 pm

We will all face intense grief at various times in our lives.  Sometimes, it will come in the form of the death of a loved one, and at other times it may take different forms: illness or injury, divorce, natural disasters, disability, family estrangement, loss of a job, taking on a caregiving role, and many others.

In this free workshop, participants will join writer Sarah Kilch Gaffney to learn how expressive writing and journaling can help us navigate grief in all its forms. Participants will hear readings, try out writing prompts, and learn about the benefits of expressive writing and journaling, as well as take home some helpful tools and ideas. No writing experience is necessary, anyone experiencing any kind of grief is welcome, and all workshop participants will get to bring a journal home with them to continue their practice.

Registration is required. 

To learn more, call 207-373-6585 and ask for Meghan.
