I am available to teach expressive writing and/or narrative medicine workshops for anyone caring for or living with an ongoing health issue of any sort. (Could also include a visual art component.)
I have nearly 20 years experience in this field, having pioneered some of these writing workshops at Seattle Children’s Hospital, University of California San Francisco Wellness Center for Chronic Conditions, and Richard Hugo House in Seattle to name a few. I also co-chair the Narrative Medicine workgroup at CARRA (Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Association) with Dr. Lanis Levy. I have led workshops for the Cure JM Foundation, the Scleroderma Foundation, Global Genes organization, Virginia Mason Hospital Integrative Medicine Conference, and others. I have been the recipient of artist grants to teach writing/poetry to teens and adults, to medical providers, caregivers and those living with ongoing health issues, and to publish both their writings, visual art, and my own writing.
Workshop Options:
- 2-3 hours includes readings, writing prompts, time to write, time to share
- 1.5 hours includes writing prompts, time to write, Visual Art, some sharing time.
Workshop structure is flexible for small groups (5-15 people) or large groups (20-50 people).
