Writing as Healing: Workshop

I believe  wholeheartedly in the idea that writing is healing and that we can use writing to purge that which resides within us and does not serve us.  Writing can be used to move negative energies from within to out of the body.

Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, or another struggle of life, writing can help you to find a voice when you feel the most helpless and lost.  Writing can be a lifeline and even a passageway through which you may talk to God or spirit, or simply let go of that which you no longer need.  Writing can also be a conduit by which we can share the greatest joys and experiences we encounter.

Each and every one of us is a writer, as each and every one of us has a voice within our soul.  Whether we are a self-proclaimed writer or not, each of us has that voice that can be heard through spoken or written word.  It may be through the form of a song, a recipe, an encouraging statement, a quote that speaks to you, or even a question about the state of our universe.

I pray that you would find a value in writing as healing and be open to allowing yourself to explore all of the power that writing has to offer, whichever unique form your expression chooses to manifest in.  In all writing, may we allow it to manifest through an effort to seek freedom and in an effort of love.

~~I encourage you that if you feel called to do so, you will share these manifestations of your inner writer with our community, in which you are already a creator, because you are lending your energy to this space.
