SUMMARY:A Funnel to Love: An Expressive Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This expressive writing program provides an opportunity for all of those connected to cancer whether you are a patient\, survivor\, caregiver\, etc to bring any emotions in\, whether that be resentment\, anger\, fear\, gratitude\, hope\, or anything else\, and funnel that emotion into love through the process of letter-writing. \n\n\n\nThis program will include 3 opportunities to create love letters to yourself\, another person\, and your future self. During the hour and a half you will be invited to write\, share what feels comfortable for you in the group\, and reflect on how others’ writing resonates with you. \n\n\n\nOverall\, this program aims to channel any cancer-related emotions that have come up for you and funnel those into love letters through a nonjudgmental writing process\, in hopes that you will leave with a stronger sense of self-compassion and love.  \n\n\n\nThe host of this group will be Madison Shaw\, an intern at Smith Center through George Mason’s MSW program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:SC Writes: A Place for Radical Writing
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This month\, the session is from 1:30-3:00pm ET on Zoom.\n\n\n\nWherever you are on life’s journey\, there are times when it can feel impossible to commit to a recurring program like a workshop series. Radical Writing Space is our answer to this conundrum of wanting to attend for some radical self-care\, but struggling to commit. \n\n\n\nClinical studies have documented the healing psychological and psychical impacts of writing within a safe and sacred space. On the second Friday of each month\, drop in for one hour for Radical Writing Space and join us for inspiring writing prompts\, time to write\, and time to share with one another about your experience of putting your most radical emotions\, feelings\, and experiences on paper. \n\n\n\nThe part that makes this writing so “radical” is that we create a safe space for it all — raw feelings\, emotions\, experiences — and\, together\, we give voice to them in a supportive\, nonjudgmental environment. \n\n\n\nThis healing program offers a place for supporting one another and we stay clear of writing critique. Come and experience writing and sharing together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Support Group Facilitator | Creativity Program Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Mindy Brodsky\, LCSW\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer
