The Write Treatment: Creative Writing Circle for Hope & Healing

January 19, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Free

Telling stories and sharing with others can deepen our relationships or start new ones, increasing our sense of empathy for and connection with one another. Join in this monthly creative writing gathering for breast cancer survivorship at Forge. You don’t have to be a writer to attend. Bring a friend or a loved one with you. Let’s write out our hopes and healing.

This group will meet virtually for our January meeting. You can register to attend online via Zoom. Please email [email protected] or call 205-838-6159 with questions.
