Expressive Writing For Healing

Expressive Writing For Healing

Saturday, June 26, 10 - 11:30 a.m.

Co-sponsored by Benet House Retreat Center and Shalom Spirituality Center

Expressive writing is one of the oldest and most effective means of coping with the emotional fallout from traumatic and stressful life experiences. In this co-sponsored special event, Shalom Program Coordinator Mary Potter Kenyon shares how she wrote her way through a husband's cancer treatment, loss of her mother, husband, and a young grandson. Because journaling facilitated her own healing, Mary began teaching it as a method to help others. This workshop demonstrates the science behind utilizing expressive writing as a tool for healing from traumatic experiences, examples of published expressive writing, methods for getting started in journaling and writing exercises.

$15 per person. This event will be held via the Benet House Zoom. Register on the Benet Retreat House website: https://smmsisters.org/retreats/expressive-writing-for-healing or call 309-283-2109. Email retreats@smmsisters.org for more information.
