ENOUGH ALREADY

A Healing Writing Workshop with Dr. Lissa Rankin and Nancy Slonim Aronie. Live on Zoom.

Many of us have many stories we’ve ruminated on, looped in our heads, talked about with therapists, or maybe written down once or twice or a hundred times. Stories take their time to heal, to be mirrored, witnessed, and validated (by ourselves and others). This workshop is for those who will declare “I’m done. This is the last time I will write this and the last time it will have a hold on me.”

Saturday, April 18th & Sunday April 19th 2026

    The Writer’s Calling

    A Soulful Community Of Writers – Join Anytime

    You may not write for fame, money, or accolades. But maybe, just maybe, you will! You may write because something inside you must write. Because you have stories that won’t let you go until they’re seen, held, and turned into light. Because writing is how you survive this world, how you alchemize pain into beauty, how you make meaning out of the mess. Because you know—deep in your bones—that your story could help someone else find their way out of the dark.

    How Power Destroys Empathy & Compassion

    In 2007, after twelve years of training to become a doctor, I left the hospital, only seven years after completing my training. Why? Because, in my estimation, to rise in the medical hierarchy requires trading in empathy and compassion for power- and it’s a bad...
