August 10-31 2010 - A Different Kind of Writer'’s Group

Creative writing can help you express emotions through putting your thoughts on paper. Hospice at Home/Lory's Place have partnered with the Box Factory to create a new workshop called A Different Kind of Writer's Group.

Lead by workshop leader and writing coach Barbara Simpson, this four week workshop will encourage writing to get out what is inside of you. Whether it takes the form of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, a play or a song, no one can tell your story but you. Healing can occur through writing and the sharing of that writing. In this safe, confidential and non-judgmental writing group, you will have the opportunity to see writing as an art form which belongs to everyone. Attendance at all four sessions of this workshop is strongly encouraged

This program will take place on Tuesdays, August 10 - 31, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Box Factory for the Arts, 1101 Broad St., St. Joseph. There is no charge for this program. Classes are for adults only and size is limited to ten participants on a first-come first-serve basis. Call Lory's Place at 269-983-2707 to register.

Hospice at Home also offers ongoing groups that meet during the evening for adults and children at Lory's Place Grief Healing and Education Center. The groups include regularly scheduled age-appropriate support group sessions that allow children and adults to interact with peers who have suffered similar loss. Groups for children and adults who are anticipating a loss or who have experienced a loss through pregnancy are also available, as well as educational and workplace grief programs. All community bereavement services are provided free of charge thanks to local community contributions.
