Hero’s Journey Creative Writing Experience for Youth

I can’t wait to get rolling on another online creative writing program! Creative Writing for Youth (ages 14+; 10 weeks). Teaching writing is my heart!
 
What is your hero’s journey? Led by seasoned writer and creative writing workshop instructor, Carla Atherton, students will attend weekly live zoom calls and write about a variety of topics, personal musings, and life events becoming more self-aware, empowered, less stressed (depressed, anxious), and more centred through the process. It’s a stellar workshop, and no one comes out of it unchanged, not even me, the instructor!
 
Registration is open now; Proposed start date: March 21, 2021; Space is limited; Sundays, 12:45-1:45pm
Register here (note the cost reflects discounted youth programming rates).
Contact Carla for more information.

Wifi in Schools and Your Child’s Health

 

Are you concerned about the mental and physical health effects of wifi in your child’s school? I know that I am. Please let me explain more fully in the talk I gave for the roundtable series by Wired Schools: Cancer, Depression, Anxiety, Suicide at Schools Exploring Causation and Solutions.

The replay began this summer, and I neglected to blog about it! So, in case you missed it, my talk is now available here!

 

 

 

 

Live speakers for the event included: Virginia Farver, Carla Atherton, Richard Lear, David James Rodriguez, Jeanice Barcelo and Dr. Priyanka Bandara. Interviews with Erica Mallery-Blythe MD, Olga Sheean and Shelley Wright will be added to the series separately.

My talk Chronic Childhood Conditions: Exploring Causations & Solutions is the first from 10 panelists who spoke on the subject.

Let’s discuss the problems AND the solutions!
