Writing Through Grief: Healing Workshop At Katonah Village Library

KATONAH, NY — Writing can often feel like a lonely pursuit, but a local author and grief coach says the process can be healing in the right environment.

The Katonah Village Library announced that it will be hosting a Writing Through Grief workshop by Certified Grief Coach Barri Leiner Grant on Thursday, at 6:30 p.m.

Grant is a Bedford resident and author. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, essays in Zibby Magazine, in a wide range of media and, locally, at the Katonah Village Library, the Katonah Reading Room, the Bedford Post and Chabad of Bedford.

Grant will lead the conversation, using "writing prompts that allow buried and repressed emotions to move from the subconscious to the page. The act and movement of handwriting awakens us to allow the healing process." Grant has built a reputation for somehow making this process both uplifting and enjoyable. Attendees are encouraged to bring their curiosity.

The Writing Through Grief session will take place in the accessible lower level Garden Room. The Katonah Village Library is located at 26 Bedford Rd.
