As a playwright I knew that language could be transformative.

So I started writing fragments of thoughts. Documenting the broken bits.

Writing me down on paper gave me a way through the most difficult moments, and the most difficult days.

I gradually made my way through a landscape of radical change and loss. I made meaning from my experience in ways that oriented and stabilized me.

I began to feel alive, present and even hopeful.

This process inspired the make meaning workshop.
