Journal writing workshop offered

A workshop for people writing a journal is the latest addition to the adult learning programs being offered through Gnostic Forest at Woy Woy.

Meredith Gilmore will present the workshop series, starting on Tuesday, May 13.

"Many people write in a journal at some time in their lives, and find it helpful," Ms Gilmore said.

"Over seven weeks I will present a range of techniques, so that people can experiment and expand on methods they may currently use.

"The benefits of keeping a journal can extend to relationships, work and communication, as well as to personal understanding and well-being."

Meredith is an experienced workshop facilitator with qualifications in psychology and writing, and claims to have over 20 years experience in journaling.

She is also a local artist known best for her dog portraits, with a studio gallery in Umina Beach.

Her artwork, "Gentle Giant" won the People's Choice award at the Gosford Overflow exhibition in 2006.
