Writer Katie Alvord to lead "Journaling for Wellness" class Nov. 4

HANCOCK -- Katie Alvord, writer and Keweenaw Now contributor, will be leading a class called "Journaling for Wellness" at 6:30 p.m. this Wednesday evening, Nov. 4, in Room 324 at the Jutila Center in Hancock (the old hospital, 200 Michigan Street).

"The one-hour class will survey ways that journal writing can be used to support health and wellness," Alvord says. "We will talk about expressive writing -- which can lower blood pressure and reduce stress -- as well as affirmative journaling, wellness journals and dream journals."

Bring a notebook or journal for a couple of writing exercises. The class, which is part of the Optimal Wellness series, is $10 at the door.
