This course is for writers of all stages: from professional writers to those who dabble in their journals to those up for a completely new dive. For all, this embodied course will deepen your writing process. Each person will be assigned a focusing partnership that meets once a week for the duration of the course.

This course is led by Jan Winhall, an upcoming author and seasoned Focusing Oriented Therapist, and Ann Dowsett Johnston, a newly credentialed therapist and seasoned bestselling author. Ann and Jan met three years ago and are co-mentoring each other in their psychotherapy and writing careers.
