Namrata will be leading a workshop on Healing Through Writing for Myndstories.
Words can be heavy, but they can also heal. Writing isn’t just about grammar or being “a writer.” It’s a way to make sense of your experiences, to tell your story, and to find strength in reflection.
This MyStories Spaces session invites you into a gentle circle where writing becomes a tool for emotional resilience, recovery, and self-expression.
