It has been said that a person doesn't know what they think until they start writing it down. Writing is a process of self-discovery, and this class will provide a deep dive into transformative writing, using in-class writing exercises and week-to-week writing assignments to reveal fascinating aspects of each participant's unique personality.
Note: This class is specifically for those who have served in the United States Armed Forces or military.
This class is presented in partnership with the VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System. For more information, please contact a Whole Health Team Member at (216) 791-3800 ext. 62257 or 62394.
