Write Where It Hurts
Writing as a Healing Tool

Workshops facilitated by Jo Ann Fore

Women are divinely created for a joy-filled life of purpose, but emotional clutter often gets in the way of God's plans. Sometimes we need a safe place to cut through the hard stuff.

Write Where It Hurts is a one-of-a-kind, life-changing workshop where women learn to use expressive writing and biblical truth to reconcile painful life experiences with God's purpose for their lives.

Many women use journaling as a form of self-therapy, but it often amounts to little more than unburdening. Without divine intervention, journaling in itself doesn't usually lead to a genuine healing connection.

Write Where It Hurts workshops offer simple, yet transformative writing exercises in a safe and supportive environment. Participants learn to:

release the stories of a painful past
move beyond deep-rooted hurts
uncover faulty thinking
grasp the comfort of the sovereignty of God
make changes that last
