I'm teaching a Writing for Better Health workshop through MaineGeneral's Peter Alfond Prevention & Healthy Living Center on October 17, 2024, 4:30-6:00 pm in Waterville, ME. We'll talk about the health benefits of a writing/journaling practice, explore some tips for incorporating writing into your life, and you'll also get to try out some writing prompts during the session. No writing experience is necessary, the cost is $15, and scholarships are available!

I have two Journaling for Better Health Workshops happening in September--one a virtual opportunity that you can sign up for from anywhere, and the other will be a session at the upcoming BIAA-ME Conference on Defining Moments in Brain Injury in Portland, ME. See below for more details. Journaling for Better Health: September 17, 2024, All Things Become New, Virtual Journaling for Better Health: September 30, 2024, BIAA-ME Conference, Portland, ME
This workshop will be offered as part of the Brain Injury Association of America - Maine Chapter's annual conference. For more information about the conference, please click here. The latest issue of my newsletter has arrived, with a fun, coloring page artist; lots of tasty recipes; some reading recommendations, a bunch of upcoming writing workshops, and other morsels. You can read the July/August 2024 issue of the Red Eft here.
The "Journaling for Better Health" workshop hosted by All Things Become New has been rescheduled for September 17, 2024. Details below.
The May/June issue of the Red Eft is here! It features the marvelous B.J. Hollars and his beautiful new book, the BEST sourdough cracker recipe (if you hate trying to figure out what to do with your discard, this is the recipe for you), a recap of my writing residency at Monson Arts, tomato facts from Zoe, and more! You can read it here.
Here in Maine, we are fortunate to have Camp Ray of Hope, which is an annual weekend retreat for Maine individuals and families grieving the death of a loved one. More info about this year's Camp Ray of Hope weekend is below.
I was incredibly fortunate to participate in a residency at Monson Arts last month. I spent ten days in beautiful Monson, Maine with nine other writers and visual artists, and we were provided with housing, studios, meals, and the time to create. I spent my time working on my memoir, writing poems, and reading voraciously. Monson was my first ever residency, and it was an unforgettable experience.
I'm thrilled to be collaborating with the Maine-based organization, All Things Become New, to facilitate a series of community writing workshops. The first, one June 11, is "Writing through Grief."
The latest issue of my newsletter, the Red Eft, can be found here. In addition to writing news and upcoming workshops, there are lots of tasty recipes to try, some reading recommendations, octopus facts, and a feature of Simone Gorrindo and her new memoir, The Wives.
