If you’re wondering about the healing benefits of writing and are curious about writing your story for yourself or for others... then please consider joining Melissa Gould's Signature Guided Writing Workshop for Healing & Connection.
We have all experienced grief in some way, whether through death, divorce, a diagnosis (yours or a loved one’s), the loss of a job, a move, etc., and this workshop explores how putting pen to page, or fingers to keyboard, can help you on your healing journey.
Through short, guided writing prompts, optional sharing, and personal storytelling, participants in this small group setting are given the opportunity to explore their feelings, reflect on life experiences, and discover their path to healing through their own written words. With the intention of finding hope on the page and connection through community, this guided writing workshop supports writers and non-writers alike.
All workshops are held via zoom throughout the year and are for US residents only. Please email widowish@gmail.com with any Q's and to get on the waiting list for the next small-group workshop. It will sell out!
I have created workshops for mid-life women's issues like divorce, parent-loss, empty nest syndrome, and self reinvention. If you have a group you'd like me to work with, an event or retreat that you're planning, please reach out to see how I might be of service.
