Healing and Writing Retreat: Sharing the Journey

Florida Borderline Personality Disorder Association

Saturday, September 25th 10am - 3pm

St. Anthony's Hospital, St. Petersberg, Florida

Details:

This half-day workshop is geared toward individuals in recovery from borderline personality disorder and those who support them.

This event is a unique opportunity to examine and share with others the challenges and joys involved in recovery from BPD. In an atmosphere that is warm and inviting, Kiera will discuss her new book and the struggles involved with writing it particular to BPD and the "coming out" process. Through guided writing exercises, group discussion, and mindfulness meditation, we will explore how telling our personal stories can be both exposing and liberating, and we will strategize and practice ways of sharing our journey that heal and empower ourselves.

Sharing the Journey is appropriate for individuals diagnosed with BPD as well as friends and family members who are supporting their loved ones and seeking healing for themselves. Space for this event is limited to only 15 people so it is important that you sign-up today.

The cost for the event is $100 and includes a continental breakfast and workshop materials. Each attendee will also receive a signed copy of Ms. Van Gelder's book.
