Resolve your emotional blocks in this four-week in-person generative and therapeutic writing class.

In life, you’re taught to acquire, not to let go. And yet loss happens all the time, in so many ways. For a writer, grief can make it hard to write–to get started on a project, to keep going through the messy middle, and to find its end.

Yet writing can be the very solution to make your way through loss.

Jeaux is wonderful to work with. They’re an amazing teacher.

Research shows it’s therapeutic to write about hard things. Expressive writing offers many physical, mental, and emotional benefits. And it makes you a better writer, better able to understand why the characters in your stories–fiction or nonfiction–behave the ways they do.

Do you have:
-Something you want to write about but don’t know how?
-Stories you can’t approach–or got started on but can’t finish?
-Places you get stuck in your writing?
-Characters who aren’t fully realized?

Chances are, you’ve got some unhealed grief stuck inside you. It’s OK. We all do. It’s time to let it out.

An enlightening, gently uplifting course. Beautifully and encouragingly presented by a lovely person in an easy-going appealing manner. A heartfelt thank you.

It’s not enough to just vent onto the page, however. To tap into writing’s healing power, you’ve got to learn from and understand your emotions. This class will allow you to get to the truth underneath the story you’re telling yourself.

When you write about your loss experiences, you learn and understand deeper truths about the nature of loss and what your losses mean to you. Because, while no two losses are the same, loss is something every person experiences, many times, throughout their life. It’s a universal truth that brings us together.

You’ll get writing time in class and a reasonable amount of homework between classes. Tissues and chocolate provided.

Jeaux was very enlightening. I really enjoyed the class.
