Journaling isn’t just about writing—it’s a powerful way to sort through thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. It can boost memory, lower stress, and even improve your overall well-being. In this hands-on CAPS workshop, you’ll learn simple strategies for therapeutic journaling, and have time to practice. All attendees will receive a free journal.

The Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University invites all who share in the alliance of poetry and science to a major, multi-day gathering in Kent, Ohio.

The gathering welcomes writers, scientists, researchers, educators, students, clinicians, policy makers, community organizers, and members of the public who are curious about the meeting ground between science and the imaginative life for three days of readings and panels, participatory events, formal and informal conversations, and a book fair.
