This Conversation will air live on November 20th, at 7 pm CST on Zoom.
This unique conversation will explore how taking pen to paper can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and a path to health and wellness. Julene Tripp Weaver, an avid writer, has practiced and taught this approach for over 30 years, using it to navigate her own healing journey and achieve success as an author.
Join Linda and Julene as they discuss this transformative approach, focusing on its contributions to Julene's health and writing career. We will also preview Julene's upcoming three-hour workshop, Writing as a Healing Cauldron: Writing into Health, Strength, and Survival which will be a part of the In Our Own Hands: Women's Wellness Series, a virtual event hosted by Midwest Women's Herbal January-March 2026.
As a special thank you for attending the live session, we will be giving away a Midwest Women's Herbal herbal apron, a registration for the virtual In Our Own Hands: Women's Wellness Series, and a signed copy of Julene's book, Slow Now with Clear Skies.
Those who would like a chance to win the giveaways, will need to attend live. A recording will be sent to those unable to attend live.
