In this two-hour workshop with Margo McLoughlin on September 22, participants will learn some of the key principles that make up a unique approach to creativity. Through journal-writing, discussion, and responding to poetry, participants will prepare the ground for creative practice. Participants will leave with a set of strategies to integrate as they continue their journey, whether it involves a specific creative project or simply a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation for the daily opportunities that come our way to express who we are and the values that guide us.
This workshop is a teaser session for the 6-week course offered in September.
Please note, pre-registration required.
