❄️ WINTER Series: "Sparks" Writing Workshop (Jan/Feb)

$119.00 every month for 2 months

Begins Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 - Live on Zoom

Personal Narrative, Prompt Style Writing

Rooted in the science of expressive writing as a post-traumatic growth tool for healing, the Wildfire “Sparks” writing workshop is the cancer support group you’ve been missing. Or, as we like to say around here, it’s the cancer support group for people who don’t like traditional support groups.

No writing experience necessary. Each week, your facilitator, April Stearns, will bring with her a series of writing prompts and inspiration designed to give you an entry point to the page and your experiences. Your job is simply to allow the words to flow out of you in stream-of-conciousness style.

Want to use writing to process your cancer and/or life stories but aren’t sure where to begin or just have a hard time making time & space to do it on your own? You’re in the right spot.

Give yourself the gift of writing in a community of others who understand being diagnosed with breast cancer younger. In this workshop, you’re never ‘the cancer one’.

Together we’ll write away some of our stress — and find some healing in the long run by using writing as a tool to find meaning. Some describe this group as therapy, some say it is better than therapy. Writing enables you to go deep and connect with yourself. Doing so in this group allows you to meet others who are doing the same. You’ll make new friends and fill a notebook along the way. Even if you don’t consider yourself a writer!

Each week:

  • 2.5 hour live Zoom meet up

  • 120 minutes of writing (divided among different prompts)

  • discussion and sharing opportunities

  • participants diagnosed young with breast cancer from all over the world — US, Canada, UK and beyond

  • limited to 15 participants to foster a warm and safe environment with time for everyone to share (optional)

Winter Class Schedule: Thursdays at 7p Eastern Standard Time / 4p Pacific Time (5 sessions, 2.5 hours each)

Praise from past workshop participants:

Our weekly writing time is my happy place. ~Anne

You balanced everything so nicely, sharing just enough of your own experience to where we all felt comfortable sharing ours. It felt very safe and I think that the way you facilitated it contributed to that. I would definitely do something like this again. I got a lot out of it and it made me want to try more writing exercises. ~Pamela

Thank you so much for the workshop and all that you are doing for the community of women living beyond a breast cancer diagnosis. I loved the prompts leading into the actual writing. It was very healing and has lead me to want to write and share more. ~Stacy

You gave me some ideas and permission to write things that don’t flow, connect or make sense to others. There is so much inside me that I wasn’t even aware of before my diagnosis. It is not necessary for others to “get it” or even read it. It’s for me. ~Suzanna

You have really reminded me how rewarding & healing writing can be. ~Kai
