Write from your power 💪

If you're like many writers, you've based some of your work on personal experience. You may even enjoy writing personal essays or aspire to write a memoir!

But exploring personal material can be challenging. Alongside processing difficult experiences there's the impact we want our stories to have.

We don't want to be seen by our readers as victims of life's hard turns. We are SO much more than what has happened to us.

So how do we tell our stories as survivors, writing from a place of empowerment?
 

On Wednesday, June 19 join award-winning author + narrative therapy trained writing instructor Nicole Breit for a low-cost workshop that will help you:

• Understand what narrative therapy is and how it can support a healing process through storytelling
• Uncover overlooked or forgotten aspects of your story that highlight your strength + resilience
• Draft new work about your multi-storied life from a place of empowerment etc..

In this 60-minute workshop you’ll learn:

• How narrative therapy principles can help you explore difficult subject matter (e.g. loss, mental health, illness or disability, violence and/or abuse and interpersonal trauma)
• An intro to 6 empowering narrative therapy principles you can apply to writing autobiographical stories you’re proud to share
• How journaling and storymaking can be tools for healing + self-exploration but differ in 1 important way when processing trauma
