ForwardWriting Immersion for Healthcare Professionals - February 2026
This 2-day workshop is a comprehensive, experiential training based on James Pennebaker’s 30 years of research in writing to heal. The curriculum will provide easily adaptable lessons, activities, and guideposts for anyone working in the healthcare field — physicians, nurses, mental health professionals, hospice workers, health coaches, and others — to use in their personal meditative practices for health and well-being. These learned skills subsequently transfer to the care of their clients and patients as they become more attuned to the benefits of writing for health.
