WORKSHOPS
I design and facilitate customized workshops for academic, workplace and community-based settings, both in-person and virtual.
I believe that writing helps us better understand what we hold within ourselves and allows us to express that to the people around us. In workshops we use writing as a process to slow down, open to insight, reignite curiosity, and make space for contemplation. We discover how to create a writing practice that over time allows us to discover strength, wisdom, depth, energy, and wholeness. Expressive writing is a powerful and proven tool to help individuals and groups better connect, build resilience, reduce stress, and feel more restored.

Testimonials
“Laura is inclusive, compassionate, and reliable. Prepared and orderly. Flexible and discerning. She establishes an open, mutually supportive, creative and accepting atmosphere. For those of us who spend our days immersed in healing, health care and mental health settings, it has always been a welcome respite to study poems and consider themes that are broad ranging, rather than being focused on illness. Thank you Laura, for your remarkable presence, preparation and facilitation.”
