This workshop series uses structured writing prompts and exercises to help participants process difficult emotions, experiences, or trauma in an environment that is supportive and non-judgmental.

​

The six weekly sessions are not focused on grammar or technique, but on using the act of writing as a tool for self-discovery and emotional release.

​

Program leader Jacqueline Harris will help participants explore different writing methods, including expressive writing, journaling, and legacy writing. Participants will have a safe space to share their experience of the writing process, and the writing itself. The emphasis is on feeling heard and validated within a supportive community. Sharing is encouraged, but not mandatory.

​

Research has shown that expressive writing can lead to reduced stress and anxiety. The practice can also cultivate the ability to navigate future challenges and to reclaim one’s voice.

​

Writing for Healing is for anyone seeking to gain perspective and find greater inner peace, regardless of their writing experience. Participants may be navigating significant life changes, illness, coping with grief or loss, processing trauma, or simply trying to reconnect with themselves.

If you are interested in participating, please email Jackie Harris at jacquelinehar@gmail.com

Sarah Hofschire is excited to be teaching Gentle Yoga at Open Spirit again this fall and winter. She completed 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Certification in 2015 through The Yoga for Life program created and lead by the exceptional team of Sandra Dennis and Abby Schwab. Her teaching style is all-levels/gentle with a focus on increased balance, strength, mobility and mind-body connection with a bit of creative movement added to the mix.

​

Classes are held in-person in Edwards Hall.

​

The cost of the fall session is $140 for 7 classes if paid in full by the first class. 

The cost of the winter session is $120 for 6 classes if paid in full by the first class.

If you are unable to commit to all 7 classes, you may pay a prorated rate of $25 per class.

Drop in classes are $30 — space is not guaranteed, but we’ll do our best to make room.

You may pay via VENMO (@sarah-hofshire) or personal check. Drop-ins may also pay in cash.

​

Open Spirit has everything you need for a comfortable yoga class, but you’re welcome to bring your own mat and props as well. We hope you’ll try a class!

What stirs in us when we reach for a poem, whether sitting down to write or read the work of a favorite poet? Why do poems stay with us and continue to inform our lives?

​

In this workshop, we’ll approach poetry as a vehicle for living more fully in the present and deepening our humanity. Each month we’ll focus on an element of craft in the context of a particular theme to generate new work.

​

This class is for anyone interested in poetry as a spiritual practice and no previous writing experience is required to enjoy the pleasures of creative expression.

​

Come join us and be inspired!

​

​This class will be held from 2:00-3:30pm in-person at Open Spirit in our Edwards Hall, located at 39 Edwards Street in Framingham.
