Literary Therapy Week #1-Joy, Boundaries, and Restorative Practices

Literary Therapy: Joy, Grief, Healing, and Recovery is an interactive four-part experience developed for the Dominican Writers Association that harnesses the cathartic power of writing and vulnerability to center joy, foster connection, and cultivate tools and strategies to cope and thrive during this raggedy moment in history.

This four-part experience will offer our community:

1. A custom immersive workbook that expands on group writing sessions with additional grounding and reflection activities, readings lists, and room for drawing and taking notes.

2. Virtual community writing sessions that use mindfulness, creative writing, and group discussions to explore mental health and cultivate tools for thriving.

3. A wrap-up with mindfulness tools, joy-flavored stories, recipe ideas, wellness resources, and more.

We’ll use mindfulness activities, creative writing, and group discussion in a safe + supportive community to navigating emotions connected to life amidst global transition and uncertainty.
