Writing from the Inside Out Starting in July will be offered in our office on 424 Main Street in Westbrook!
This group is facilitated by Cheryl Smith and meets every Monday afternoon from 2:30pm to 4:00pm at the Maine Medical Center's Dana Center. Our group works on a "theme of the day" and shares their creative writing skills in a safe and therapeutic environment.
NEW ADDED GROUP!
Announcing
"Writing From the Inside Out at our Main office on 424 Main Street in Westbrook on Wednesdays from 2:30 to 4:00PM Facilitated by Peter Manuel"
This weekly group empowers through free-writing exercises. Topics will be selected by the facilitator, Peter Manuel, or by group members. Then, for ten minutes, everyone will write in a stream-of-consciousness manner. After each round, participants will read aloud what they have written; then, others will provide non-judgmental and constructive feedback.
The Facilitator may briefly comment on some-one's writing: to suggest where something could be coaxed out further for artistic purposes. It would be totally up to that writer to decide whether or not to follow up on any suggestions.
We believe -- by expressing ourselves in this way -- our Awareness can tap into the Powers of the Unconscious; if we can get our Inner Selves Primed and Tuned with the Tools of Recovery, our chances for a richer, more satisfying life becomes that much more real!
