Zander Masser
Course details
Drawing on his occupational therapy perspective and experience as an author and creator, Zander Masser offers an interactive workshop that reconnects you with loved ones you have lost and helps you to experience catharsis through collecting and sharing your loved ones’ stories. Zander breaks down his creative process into concrete steps, provides examples of each step from his own work, and guides you to do the same with your own story. While Zander ultimately created his book, you may create something different, reflecting your own experience, interests, and skills. The workshop comes with a workbook and involves plenty of writing. At the end of it, you can hold in your hands a tailored guide for changing the way you understand and live with grief.
