Women’s Journal-Writing Group Forming in Key West; Five-Week Session

Is it time to finally explore your relationship with your mother?  Do you want to organize your jumbled thoughts?

Do you want some peaceful, quiet time to describe to yourself, the feelings, ideas and connections that have created your life thus far?

The Journal Writing Group is a place where women come together to safely write down their lives, letting  thoughts  tumble out of their bellies, leaving their critics, their monkey minds behind.

Beginning the week of November 11, the group will meet  for five 90- minute sessions.  The day and time of the weekly workshops will be determined by  group member consensus.

Led by Key West writer, Susan Wadia-Ells, a long time journalist, change agent and health writer, who has led journal writing groups at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, University of Vermont and Vermont College,   Wadia-Ells holds a PhD in women’s autobiographical writing and has studied journal writing practices with Natalie Goldberg (Writing Down the Bones) and with Lamont Poetry Prize  Winning author, Minnie Bruce Pratt.

Wadia-Ells is  creator and contributing editor of The Adoption Reader: Birth Mothers, Adoptive Mothers, and Adopted Daughters Tell Their Stories, Seal Press; the recent ebook, Busting Breast Cancer: Birth Control Drugs, and the forthcoming paperback. Busting Breast Cancer: 7 Simple Steps to Protect Our Daughters/Ourselves from this Unnecessary Disease.

Cost of the 5- week session is $ 125, or $ 30/session. The group is limited to 10 women. Sessions will be held in Old Town, with free parking available.
