April Writing Veranda: Navigating Our Changing Bodies with ShanShan

While our bodies have stuck with us through thick and thin, they've gone through many different, important changes; for many, talking about these changes can feel awkward and uncomfortable, no matter what stage of life you're in. However, being able to freely acknowledge our bodily changes—both the ones we love and hate—helps us begin to build our self-esteem and understand how we want to care for our bodies going forward. For our April Writing Veranda, we invite you to a safe space for our community to write and talk about the shifts in our bodies, how they impact our daily lives, and how we cope with these changes. We'll also explore the connection between our body and mind—how our physical changes impact us mentally and vice versa. All you'll need to join us is something to write with and yourself. Let's foster a safe culture of acceptance for ourselves and each other, together.💗

This April writing session will be hosted by ShanShan Guo.
