Expressive Writing for Creativity, Serenity, & Joy
Expressive writing practices can be a highly effective tool for enhancing creativity and shifting our mood during challenging times. In this workshop, we'll engage with structured journaling techniques to clarify and organize thoughts while inspiring ideas for writing projects and managing stress. Short readings of authors including J. Ruth Gendler and Pat Schneider—and an explanation of the research supporting these writing practices—will provide additional food for thought. The session includes a brief collage activity as the basis for imaginative writing.
