Why Write?

Here my why in my own words...

​I'm often asked, and rightfully so, why it's important that we invest in processing -- through creativity -- our thoughts, feelings and life events. There are many benefits to the programs offered through The Word Project (TWP) -- more than what I can include here. However, below are highlights of some of the benefits of the services provide...

For individuals
  • Reconnect with inner-self, thoughts and dreams to find, embrace and walk into your purpose
  • Greater sense of and appreciation for your creative voice and ability which translates to confidence in other areas
  • Find themes that emerge in your writing that call for more attention 

For communities
  • Opportunity to listen to others and be heard with respect and compassion
  • Shared sense of healing, purpose and direction
  • Builds community and connections that add to the quality of life

For businesses
  • Gain a greater understanding of "heart intelligence" in conjunction with the mind
  • Give space and a shift in perspective to assess business and relationships with clarity
  • "The ability to manage, organise, cultivate and nurture creative thinking is directly linked to growth and achievement. No creativity = stagnation = no innovation." - Psychology Today, Tapping into your everyday genius, Mark Batey, PhD, September 8, 2011

For clergy/people of faith
  • Reconnect with your inner-self and spirit
  • Like with prayer and meditation, find a way to hear what's being said through the Spirit
  • Learn to incorporate your story, and others' stories, as a way to bear witness

I also encourage you to do your own research as well. There are many articles and studies that show the connection between healing, growth, productivity and creativity.
