About this Event
Featuring Taslim Jaffer
Expressive writing is a powerful practice used in therapeutic and rehabilitative settings to support emotional processing, self-reflection, and healing. In this guided workshop, participants are invited into a safe, supportive, and creative space where writing becomes a tool for working through complex feelings and lived experiences. Research has shown that expressive writing can help reduce physical symptoms, strengthen the immune system, and increase overall life satisfaction.
Led by Taslim Jaffer, an experienced facilitator who has taught writing-for-healing workshops in addiction treatment centres and psychiatric units, this session draws on proven writing prompts that help participants translate personal experiences into poetry and prose. No prior writing experience is required, but only a willingness to explore and reflect.
This workshop is also especially supportive for caregivers and parents who often carry the emotional weight of supporting others. Through guided writing, participants are offered space to process stress, grief, resilience, and compassion, fostering renewal and emotional well-being.
Whether you are seeking personal healing, creative expression, or a moment of pause and reflection, this workshop offers a meaningful opportunity to write, connect, and restore.
