Writing Beyond Our Wounds is a presentation consisting of equal parts informal lecture and in-class writing exercises. Educator, author, and builder of the art installation Letters to My Best Friend on Endometriosis, detailing years of medical trauma, Andréa Fekete explores using writing as a tool for processing trauma, and creativity as a path to emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth. Participants will learn ways to use writing and creativity to find their way back to themselves and to persevere through challenging times.
