SPONTANEOUS CREATIVITY
Monthly creative process workshops
for writers, visual artists and creators of all stripes. Influenced by Natalie Goldberg's method of timed writing practice, Amherst Writing Workshop's prompted writing, improv techniques and games, embodiment work, shamanic journeying and Buddhist dharma art practices. We will write or draw or paint (you choose your medium), meditate, move mindfully, and play games in order to relax into the abundant creative space that already exists within the non-thinking wisdom of our bodies.
Online, Saturdays, once a month, 10am-2pm PST, $65.
SPONTANEOUS CREATIVITY: MEDICINE WHEEL
In this series, the generative prompts will be related to the transformative work of the medicine wheel, and we (or our characters, our poems, our images, our stories, our life visions) will work the directions sequentially, starting in the direction of the South. The South is the province of Satchamama, great snake mother. It is the direction of material reality, survival, and the body, where we learn to shed the past the way the snake sheds her skin: all at once.
Online, Saturdays, once a month, 10am-2pm PST, $65.
