Experiential writing is used as a therapeutic technique around the country. It is becoming commonplace to find journals, memoirs, personal poetry, and books about dreams on most self-help shelves.
However, the art of journaling still catches some people off guard. The difficulty that many people have with writing is based on the misconception that there is only one way to journal. Rhonda Richmond's writing workshop is designed to teach every writer, new and old, how to find ways to push past the myth and begin to build their own stories.
Rhonda is pleased to offer writing workshops designed to meet the needs of any group!
