Narrative Healing: A Program for Writing and Reflection
Presented by Driftless Writing Center, with Dr. Jackie Redmer
Saturday mornings from 10:30am - 11:30am (3/23, 4/20, 5/18, 6/15)
McIntosh Memorial Library conference room, Viroqua
Drop-in basis: Attend one session or as many as you’d like! No registration required.
In DWC’s Narrative Healing sessions, we will read a text or examine a painting together. In the shadow of this text, we will then be invited to self-reflect using a writing exercise. By close reading and writing together, we connect with others and learn new tools for living a meaningful life.
Narrative Healing is adapted from a growing field referred to as Narrative Medicine, which is an intentional process using the humanities to more deeply explore, share and understand the impact of human experiences. This practice relies on close and generous listening, storytelling and self-reflection.
One-hour sessions will be held on Saturday mornings:
