Writing Workshop with Jean

The first two and a half months of 2025 have been anxiety-producing, at the very least. Chaos and disorder in our government has touched all of us. In today’s writing workshop, participants will be asked to write about how they find moments of contentment or joy in the midst of pain, confusion, and/or sadness. And we always play a writing game at the end of the session, which has been fun and sometimes eye-opening!

 

Sharing your writing in Writing Workshop is not mandatory, but many people find that hearing their own voice reading about their thoughts out loud to others can change or deepen how they feel about their ideas. Also, hearing someone else read their writing can be quite eye-opening. Sometimes we learn something about a person we thought we knew everything about (but we didn't!). Sometimes someone else has a different way to say something that you have felt, but you haven't been able to put it into words. 

 

All are welcome – those who love writing and do it often, those for whom writing is a chore, and everyone else!

 

 

 

 

Jean Gasca has been a member of the Church in Ocean Park for over 20 years. While she taught math and science as a career, and now as a retired teacher and current tutor, she has always turned to art, music, reading and writing for enjoyment and relaxation. She has been a member of the Church in Ocean Park choir and The Concert Singers choir in Westchester for many years. Her interest in writing as a path for relaxation and healing has deepened during the political tensions in our country. She has realized how important it is to seek to understand our feelings and values, bring order to our perception of life’s events if daily life is chaotic, and sometimes to just play with ideas for a break from “doing.”
