                      The winter months in British Columbia can be a time when people struggle with low mood. There are ways to help lift mood and feel better. Using the slogan “Take your MEDSS!” (M-mindfulness E-exercise D-diet S-sleep S-social connection) a panel of Peer experts will provide useful information in these key areas that influence our health and well-being. The workshop will also offer those interested an opportunity to make a personal action plan.

                      Register for SCI BC’s informative workshop and beat those winter blues: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMld-2hrjspE9bJOeUjhKI9gVUJw_rWPxBC

                      There are three keys to better writing: The first is talking about what you read (shameless plug for SCI BC’s book club). The second is sharing your writing with fellow writers. And the third is learning to give and receive critique (the word is pretentious, but the group is not). 

                      If you’ve never attended a writer’s workshop before, I know what you’re thinking: Sharing?! And while it’s true that some people write for themselves, the rest of us dream of our work being enjoyed by another person one day, which means that when you’re ready, you will need to take the leap. And what better place than a small group of people who all feel the same churning feeling in their midsection!

                      Our monthly writer’s workshop is a cozy place where we take turns sharing our writing and learning how to give and receive productive feedback. Your host, Lisa Hislop, is a professional fiction editor who will help you strengthen your writing and build your confidence as a writer.
