Write Where It Hurts
Writing as a Healing Tool

Workshops facilitated by Jo Ann Fore

Do memories of a painful event seep into your daily life, much like a disastrous oil spill which threatens to destroy?

Memories are powerful. Negative memories, toxic. Repressed trauma and emotional grief deeply affect the soul.

Expressive writing, coupled with biblical truths, contains an extraordinary potential for healing.

Write Where It Hurts helps you reconcile a painful past with God's purpose for your life. Think of it as journaling on supernatural steroids.

Clinical studies prove the physical and mental benefits of writing. While David, shepherd-boy-turned-king and author of countless psalms modeled this coping mechanism over 2500 years ago.

More importantly, Jesus illustrates the transformative power of words as He redeems lives through potent stories--proving it is God who ultimately restores and heals.

Write Where It Hurts grants permission to examine our stories, to sift through our life experiences for the deeper meaning.

The workshops are designed for any woman, regardless of writing experience. Write Where It Hurts offers simple, yet transformative writing exercises in a small, safe, and supportive environment.

Learn to:

  • release the stories of a painful past
  • reengage the experiences of life from a new perspective
  • grasp the comfort of the sovereignty of God
  • transform pain into life-defining purpose

Write it down...
