Awakening the Muse: a day of writing and collage
I am excited and delighted to invite you to a workshop I'm helping create and co-facilitate next month (January, 2014). It will be a casual, creative day, combining writing and SoulCollage®---two of my favorite ways to relax and play. All I need now are a few more playmates.
I hope you'll consider coming. It will be a wonderful way to nourish yourself in the new year!
Here's the scoop:
This generative writing / visual art workshop is designed to jumpstart your imagination in a nonjudgmental, respectful environment. All genres and experience levels are welcome.
We will meet in a cozy community room with a fireplace in the condo building at the below address.
Julie and Christianne will offer carefully selected writing prompts. Participants write and may read their work aloud, if they choose. We respond with what we like, what stays with us, and what's strong.
In addition, Kayce will lead us in SoulCollage®, a process for accessing your intuition by creating incredible collage cards with personal meaning that will help you with life's questions and transitions. These cards can provide powerful insight and are wonderful tools to help break open your creative and writing process.
We're excited about this writing and visual art collaboration and look forward to seeing the magic that happens while weaving images and words together.
