Our lives are inextricably intertwined with experiences of health and illness. Health professionals, learners, patients, and caregivers spend considerable and important parts of their lives in these spaces. Writing about health and illness, whether through poetry, fiction, or non-fiction, can help us reflect, reclaim, reframe, find meaning, share wisdom, and connect with others.

In this workshop, we will spark our creativity using prompts that invite us to explore health and illness in our own voice and using our own creative abilities. Write in a supportive and encouraging community. Beginner, rusty, and experienced creative writers are welcome. Space is limited. Registration priority will be given to Rady Faculty of Health Sciences faculty, staff, and students.


Facilitator: Dr. Susan Wingert is the program steward for the Alan Klass Program in Health and Humanities at the University of Manitoba. She is a certified creative writing workshop facilitator with Amherst Writers and Artist
