Writing is Healing

Registration is full

Join the waitlist for potential future openings. 

This six-week interactive writing workshop is designed for transplant or CAR T-cell therapy recipients and caregivers. Over the course of six sessions, we'll use writing exercises and prompts to guide us through a healing approach to remembering, inscribing and sharing the aspects of our medical journeys we've found most meaningful.

This workshop is OPEN TO ALL LEVELS of writers – no previous experience required.

Our active workshop environment will include time to reflect, write and share as you feel comfortable.  Sharing is always optional and discussion is warmly encouraged.

Six Thursdays in 2024

The group will meet online via Zoom. All you need is a computer with a microphone and camera  (Headphones are nice too!)

Participants are asked to commit to attending all six workshops as space is limited!

Many thanks to Gamida-Cell whose support helped make this program possible.
