T Riley. #91916 REMOTE Healing Minds and Hearts in Writing Writing is an empowering tool that free minds and hearts. Writing has the power to heal, to create a connection with self and with others through ideas, thoughts and sharing of emotions. The “work-shopping” process invites writing as a recursive process in which writing stamina is built, writing goals are examined, and the process is shared. Writers will engage in experiential writing, set writing goals, and will create shorter structured pieces and a longer piece as a culminating activity.
