✍🏻 Free 6-Week Virtual Workshop Series | Winter 2026 ❤️

Hosted by the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research, Writing the Heart is a free expressive-writing workshop for Canadians living with heart disease, heart failure, or who have received a heart transplant.

A heart diagnosis can turn life upside down and bring powerful emotions—fear, anger, grief, and loss—that are often hard to express. This supportive workshop offers a gentle space to explore those feelings through guided writing, reflection, and shared connection.

Facilitated by Sharon Bray, Ed.D.—author, educator, and heart failure patient—this small-group series uses writing prompts and deep listening to build community and remind participants they are not alone.

🖊️ Who: Canadians living with heart disease, heart failure, or heart transplant recipients

💻 Format: Virtual | 6 weekly sessions (90 minutes each)

👥 Group size: Limited to 15 participants (commitment to all sessions required)

📅 When: Thursdays, Jan 29 – March 5, 2026 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM EST
