In Write Whole groups, we learn that we can live and feel whole in our experiences and desires; we create new art through writing, transforming our pains and fears into power and love.

Transforming our language is one way we transform our lives.
Altering and expanding our language has the effect of changing who we know ourselves to be.

In the Write Whole workshop, you'll write in response to exercises chosen to elicit deep-heart writing, engaging with such subjects as: body image, family/community, sexuality, dreams, love, faith, and more. Though we come together as survivors, we are never required to write any particular version of "our abuse story." In this space, you have the opportunity to write as you feel called to write, no matter what the subject.

Although the setting is a supportive one, this workshop is different from a "support group," as the focus of the workshop itself is on each person's writing; we create beauty out of the sometimes extraordinarily difficult stuff of our lives.
