to Share Power of Personal Experiences
Arête Purpose Consulting l January 15, 2025
A new online writing group will begin in February where participants can explore and share the power of personal writing.
Wise Words, facilitated by Dr. Anna Maria Gray-Gerhart, will be a safe and supportive space where people of any writing level can come together to express themselves.
"Participants can find healing, clarity and inspiration in the process," Maria said. "Whether you are looking to process difficult emotions, gain insight into your own experiences or simply connect with others through storytelling, Wise Words is here to support and empower you on your writing journey."
The group will meet online twice each month and have a quarterly online retreat. Cost is $25 per month. Maria is partnering with Arête Purpose of Franklin, Indiana on the project.
"We are thrilled to work with Maria on this writing group. Whether you consider yourself a beginning writer or seek that next level of storytelling, you will find this group an enriching experience," said Elizabeth Johnson, LMFT, LCSW, founding partner at Arête Purpose.
"We will be embarking on a path of self-discovery and growth through the transformative magic of words," Maria said.
