A Portal to Healing: Using Creative Writing to Calm Our Minds ( Event Postponed)
Mar 7 at 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Would you like to learn how to use creative writing to deal with anxiety, stress or grief?
“A Portal to Healing: Using Creative Writing to Calm Our Minds” is part of a series of workshops and events that focus on mental health in Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, sponsored by the Queens College AANAPISI Project (QCAP).
Join us on Thursday, March 7, from 4:30-6:30, for the next QCAP Mental Health Workshop, where Bushra Rehman, a writer and cultural activist from Queens, will help us explore writing as a portal to healing.
Rehman will lead us through exercises that will help us understand our life experiences, connect to others, and find healing in community. We will learn a variety of creative techniques, as well as breathing and tapping exercises to help us write. We will have a chance to explore our life experiences through a variety of playful activities and feel energized by the creative sparks that are unleashed.
Previous creative writing experience is not required, and all genres and experience levels are welcome!
Snacks will be provided!
