When you write a family story, whether you plan to publish or not, you’re presented with an opportunity for emotional catharsis, strengthening your ability to articulate thoughts and feelings. Perhaps you write to reflect on your life without the express purpose of sharing your pages with others. Or maybe you have a story to tell yet feel compelled to change the details because you would like to publish your work to a wider audience. Regardless of your writing goals, whether you’re crafting personal essay or memoir or you prefer to fictionalize your stories, the act of writing evokes mindful ways of Being and helps writers gain perspective on the most challenging aspects of relationships and family life.

Join acclaimed author and family therapist, Lynne Reeves Griffin with BWBH founder Lara Wilson for this BEtreat exploring creative expression as a healing practice. This session will combine mindful wellness practices with literary craft lessons that finesse your writing practice with intention and care. Practical, thoughtful, and fun exercises will leave you eager to make writing a meaningful part of your life.
