Water & Ink Course Description

The “Healing & Writing” course is a workshop taught by writer, poet, and educator, Meg Jerit, that creates a space for participants to connect, create art from their lived experiences, and cultivate “the next chapter.” The past self is given voice in the first half of the curriculum and encouraged to dream a song for the future in the latter half. The course begins by establishing the art and science of healing through writing, and will include tools of well-being and integration for participants to gain the greatest benefits. Participants can expect a blend of formal and informal elements of a creative writing workshop: protected vulnerability is the priority. Participants do not have to necessarily identify with having a trauma or something to necessarily heal from to join. Healing is the act of re-connecting with our true selves and is an integral part of all our journeys in becoming and honoring who we really are, on and off the page.

This workshop is for you if you are:

• recovering from burnout and need assistance reinvigorating your creativity

• seeking an antidote to depression and anxiety (in addition to methods like therapy) through community and art-making

• struggling to release the past and need that story to feel seen

• feeling ready to write a new story in your own life but need guidance on picking up the pieces / getting started

• wanting to discover your true voice on the page and connect with yourself on a deeper level through reading, writing, and sharing

• seeking clarity on your purpose and needing the support of a loving community as you discover it

• looking to restore mind/body connection

The course is divided into chapters (think of this 6 week season as a miniature Book of Your Life) and by the end of it, you can expect to have learned, transmuted, and created something brand new.

Price: $500 (payment plan options available)

Format: Online class that meets twice a week and includes three one-on-one meetings with instructor

(Participants will receive recordings of any missed classes.)
