Why write from the pain and struggle that comes with cancer? When you repress emotions and silence your stories, your ability to heal is weakened. Writing offers you the safety to unearth and express all that you think and feel. And when you begin to shape those thoughts and feelings into story, it helps you to make sense of things and to cope more effectively with the emotional roller coaster that illness and suffering can trigger. In our workshop, you will learn to develop perspective and cope more effectively through writing about your illness No previous writing skills required.
Facilitated by Sharon Bray, Ed.D., Writer & Author of When Words Heal: Writing Through Cancer.

Sharon is a masterful teacher and guide. While we are with her, she creates a space of safety, creativity, and healing…
Those who write with Sharon begin to make positive meaning out of the difficult journey of cancer, and they also have the opportunity to discover and share a new voice--a voice of strength and story that will be honored in its sharing.
It has been such a gift for me to participate in this life-changing group.
