This week-long writing retreat sponsored by The Center for Journal Therapy celebrated Kay Adams' 30 years teaching, researching, publishing and promoting the healing benefits of Expressive Writing around the world. When Kay was developing innovative journalling strategies for people dealing with personal turmoil through the power of personal writing, James Pennebaker, PhD, was conducting the first expressive writing experiments among university students. Today, a world-wide community of teachers, students, researchers, writers and healers use these techniques.
