The Writing to Heal Panel

Session: The Writing to Heal Panel

Audience: All Levels

The Writing to Heal panel focuses on how you can use writing to process trauma, grief, and the challenges of life. This 3-person panel, composed of Alexa Bigwarfe, Cami Ostman, and Laura Formentini, digs into why writing is such a powerful tool to help process grief, loss, and trauma to re-open your creativity.

By the end of this session, you will learn:

• Tips for getting started.
• How to write about trauma without re-traumatizing yourself.
• How these authors have used the traumatic events in their own lives to write for not only the cathartic benefits but also to help others.
