How can creative expression be a tool for healing and care?

Workshop Coordinator Brenzy will guide you through two creative writing activities that can be used to to help anyone overcome a challenging time.

In the mythological flood story of Noah’s Ark, do you know what the chapter on “the storm” symbolize? The “storm” in Noah’s Ark at the Skirballl Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California represents a challenging time for someone. An example of a “storm” is the COVID-19 pandemic. By clicking on the video above Workshop Coordinator Brenzy shares with you how writing can be a tool to “weather a storm,”—overcome a challenging time in your life.
