Welcome and thank you for visiting the Transformational Writing Center. The use of Journal writing, poetry, and creative expression in a safe, supportive, and relaxed learning environment is known to aid in personal growth, expression of emotions such as grief and loss, and provides an outlet for giving voice to what is important in one's life. It is my sincere hope that you will enjoy and experience personal growth and insight when you participate in the writing groups and classes we offer here at the Transformational Writing Center. Within these web pages, in addition to our group and workshop offerings, we provide links to the world of writing and healing research, training opportunities, and information about other writing organizations and activities around the country. Feel free to browse around and let us know if you have any questions. We hope you will come by again soon. Debra Thornley, M.A., CPT |

Testimonials
|
"I loved the Write through the Middle group. It gave me a whole new perspective on middle age and the ways it is seen in this country. I came away feeling inspired, refreshed, renewed, and ready to "jump write in" to my coming years with enthusiasm and strength. Debra is a terrific instructor who puts her whole heart into her group. We laughed, cried, and wrote our way into individual understanding of a difficult time in life. I would recommend it to everyone as a way to find true self-empowerment." -- Aryn A. Whitewolf, Ct. Ht., Ct. HB Ed. hypnotherapist |

"I have really enjoyed the Giving Sorrow Words group. I have learned a lot of different ways to identify grief and separation. The group process and the writing has really helped me by giving me tools to cope with the feelings associated with lifetime losses." -- M. E. |
