Weymouth Center For the Arts & Humanities has announced an inspiring three-week Sunday afternoon series (September 8-22) exploring the transformative power of expressive writing, led by award-winning authors Joseph Bathanti and June Guralnick.
The series will have a special focus on the power of writing for members of the United States Armed Forces (active duty or reserve), National Guard, and military veterans and their families.
Additionally, the series will take a deep dive into how writing (journaling, poetry, stories, etc.) can be a wellness tool – and an enjoyable creative activity for everyone! Extensive research has shown that writing not only boosts emotional well-being and resiliency, but also positively impacts physical health and state of mind.
The Write to Heal: Discovering Veterans’ Voices series will offer three consecutive Sunday afternoon programs free and open to the public, held in the Great Room of the Weymouth Center.
