Shadows and Sunshine: A Grief Writing Workshop
2024-04-23 14:30 - 17:30
With a series of writing prompts Lisa M. Bolt Simons will have participants write about the grief they’ve been forced to bear. Lisa has taught grief writing classes, as well as co-hosted three-day grief retreats, to give people a way to explore and express their experiences with not only grief but also the lighthearted/humorous memories that remain when someone is gone. Although Lisa supports sharing one’s work, it is definitely not mandatory. She encourages participants to bring a photo(s) of their loved ones to the program.
