Writing Retreats Rise in Popularity for Wellness and Self-Discovery

“I will be building a course on writing as ‘therapy’ in consultation with certified counsellors.”

“Writing digs through the emotions to excavate one’s authentic voice.”

“After that, Write a letter to yourself in your mother’s voice.”

“With over two decades of professional writing, I have used writing for personal healing and along the way gone deeper into the subject. Now I am bringing my own structure and system to help others.”

“In my hectic profession, I don’t get the time to think. Doing a retreat specifically focused on writing allowed me to get closure on some very personal matters.”

“The therapeutic aspect of writing is obvious; in the workshop I’d conducted, the first exercise was to let go of whatever was stopping the participants from believing in themselves, thereafter becoming that pipeline which could lead to a flow of ideas in an organic manner.”

“The root cause has to be understood in totality, it’s not enough to put just a Band-Aid on what’s a deep-seated mental issue.”

“Writing lives in our bodies like walking or dancing. It’s a natural expression, much like drawing. It’s part of our essential humanity.”
