Event Description

August 20, 2010 Updated Oct 18, 2011 at 9:19 AM EST

Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana will host “Invisible InkTM, Writing Through Your Grief,” a new workshop that explores writing about traumatic experiences to heal pain. In this active approach to moving through grief, participants will write letters to loved ones each week to express different aspects of loss. Brief guided meditations will help participants relax and write about the ways in which their loved one’s death has affected them.

Beginning Monday, November 14, 2011, and running through January 9, 2012, Kathy Curtis, an artist and author will facilitate this workshop. She has 20 years of experience teaching adults and children to tap into the healing power of creative expression. When her mother died three months after being diagnosed with cancer, Kathy wrote letters to relieve her feelings of loss. Her book, Invisible Ink: The Journey Beyond Words, and the companion workshop share the power of this approach with others who may feel stuck in their grief.

To reserve your spot, call Cancer Services at (260) 484-9560. This workshop is open to 9 people.
