Scripps Clinic/Cancer Center 2007
Guest Workshops & Presentations My mission is to inform, inspire and expand the use of writing for healing. Part of my activities include invitations to speak at conferences and cancer centers. In recent years, I've been invited as a guest lecturer and workshop leader at conferences and retreats across the U.S., in Canada, Japan, and Europe.
(To inquire about my availability to speak to your organization or lead a workshop or retreat, please contact me at: sharon@wellspringwriters.org or 619-410-3254).
