Healing Through Writing Workshop Series Sponsored by Pfizer Oncology’s This Is Living With Cancer™
Join Elephants and Tea and Pfizer Oncology’s This Is Living With Cancer™ for a three-part series utilizing our Healing Through Writing Workshops.
These theme-based workshops will explore therapeutic writing as a form of processing and coping with ones’ cancer experience to help live life beyond your diagnosis. Participants will feel the power of writing and sharing parts of their story not only to help others, but to help aid in their own healing as well.
Ready to share your story? Participants who wish to build upon the writing they start in the workshops can submit their pieces for a chance to be included in a special edition magazine. The issue will highlight stories from all three workshop perspectives and themes.
No experience with writing is necessary!
You do not need to attend all three workshops of the series.
