Though profound positive changes inevitably happen while writing in the weekly classes and Saturday workshops, these one-on-one sessions are for those who might need an even deeper support in overcoming addiction, depression or loss.
The Greek Theater from 2500 years ago pointed to artistic expression as cathartic and healing. From her own life experiences, Elana has learned that in times of crisis creativity is the best antidote, and she is committed to helping others heal through the art of creative writing.
What students say:
Giti, engineer and mother of three: "After a few classes with Elana, I discovered not only that I could write creatively about my life, but I also found the confidence within myself to write an important letter and tackle a personal situation I had been unable to face for many years. So I did not just find my writing voice, but a strong, independent woman's voice. I look forward to coming to each class.
Mario Lopez, business owner, actor, writer: "I did not know I had a passion for writing until I came to the Writing Studio. Now I write every week and soon plan to publish a book about my life. I used to suffer from depression but now with writing on a regular basis, my whole outlook on life has changed."
