Writing is Healing

Join us for an interactive six-week writing workshop designed to help us remember, describe and share the most meaningful aspects of our medical journeys, through specific writing exercises and collective reflections. 

OPEN TO: Transplant or CAR T-cell therapy recipients OR caregivers.  

OPEN TO: ALL LEVELS of writing experience – Come One, Come All!
(If you have already participated in a workshop, please let others have the opportunity to benefit from this special program.)

During the six weeks of this workshop you’ll be offered weekly prompts to kick off the writing process, and encouraged to continue writing in any way most helpful or creatively stimulating; sharing your writing is always optional. Group discussion within a warm and supportive environment is encouraged.  No previous writing experience necessary.

Thursdays, January 23, 30, February 6, 13, 20, 27 

6:30 -8 pm Eastern, 5:30-7 pm Central
4:30 -6 pm Mountain, 3:30- 5 pm Pacific

The group will meet online via Zoom. All you need is a computer with a microphone and camera (Headphones are nice too!)

Participants are asked to commit to attending all six workshops as space is limited!
