Mindwriting For Recovery: A Storytelling Workshop w/ Author Carly Schwartz
How do stories shape our understanding of ourselves? Is it possible to use storytelling techniques to challenge those accepted truths and bring about positive transformation? Join Carly Schwartz, author of the recently-published memoir I'll Try Anything Twice: Misadventures of a Self-Medicated Life, for an interactive evening of connection and exploration. In this 90-minute session, an offshoot of Carly's Mindwriters workshop series, you’ll identify stories that no longer serve you, find narrative threads that shift your understanding of yourself, and use that new perspective to think about how to make meaningful changes in your life. Inspired by narrative therapy philosophies and techniques, this workshop includes guided free-writing exercises and opportunities to share and reflect in a safe container. Please bring a pen, paper, and an openness to explore your inner world and your perception of yourself.
