Journaling for Better Health
with Lifestyle Medicine Staff
Wednesdays, April 15-29, 5:30-7 p.m.
Join Maine writer Sarah Kilch Gaffney for this free 3-week workshop series where participants will come together to learn how writing and journaling can help as they navigate the ups and downs of everyday life.
Participants will hear readings, try out writing prompts, and learn about the benefits of expressive writing and journaling. We will explore writing as a tool for improving overall health, processing difficult times, and as a form of self-care.
Workshop participants will get to bring a journal home with them to continue their writing practice, and no prior writing experience is necessary.
Registration is required.
