Find healing through the art of writing - Write to Right

Find healing through the art of writing - Write to Right

Date: 2019-04-05

Write to Right is a specialised short interactive writing course which is once again being offered by two leading Durban-based creative thinkers - physician Laura Campbell and artist / theologian Bernice Stott - as a vehicle to encourage healing and wellbeing.

Write to Right will be facilitated jointly by Laura Campbell and Bernice Stott. It is a weekly, small-group, bespoke writing course to explore the discipline of writing as healing and catharsis. The course offers an unusual opportunity of linking the creative art of writing to the science of wellness. By the completion of the course, participants will have created a meaningful piece of writing and will have gained understanding into the neurosciences involved in writing and in health.

"We are offering this course for anyone who would like to find healing through the art of writing or those who want to write about loss, love, and life's challenges. Now more than ever, we want to help people transform their narrative of mismatched, confused, angry, despairing, sad words and mold them to beauty and magic," explains physician and writer Laura Campbell.

Based in Westville, Campbell has worked and studied extensively abroad. An active writer, she won the Eileen Molver Trophy for Children`s Story (2017); was awarded second place in the South African Writers Circle First Chapter of a Novel Competition. She is currently studying Creative Writing at Rhodes University, South Africa. She is a highly-qualified specialist family physician with a particular interest in palliative care and mental health.

Durban-based Bernice Stott is a highly respected practicing visual artist (working in various mediums) with academic qualifications in drama, visual art and theology. She has participated in a myriad solo and group exhibitions throughout South Africa and abroad. She has been a minister, a teacher, a facilitator and an artist. She offers Artists' Way courses, based on the philosophy of Julia Cameron, and is a qualified Lifeline trainer.

The courses take place in three different locations and time frames: Westville May 6/13/20/27and June 3/10/17/25 (eight weeks). Time 17h30 to 19h30. Cost R 3800

North Coast (Westbrook) May 7/14/21/28 and June 4/11/18/24. Time 1030 to 1230. Cost R 3800
