'Stories From Your Life' Weekend
This weekend workshop, fabulously hosted
by Diana and her legendary cooking, will be an enjoyable, gentle exploration
of our natural creativity and of our potential to heal and empower ourselves
through awakening the writer within. Stories heal us because we become
whole through them. In the process of recalling the stories from our
life we restore those parts of ourselves that may have become hidden,
denied, suppressed, forgotten, distorted, forbidden.
Writing is a transformative art, a healing art. As we remember and allow
our stories to flow down our arms and out through our pens, so we transform
ourselves. We come to know ourselves more deeply; to make the unconscious
conscious; to gather the fragments of our unique experiences, insights,
dreams, thoughts, observations and begin to weave a tapestry. We also
leave a legacy of our history for our children and grandchildren.
This is a journey to the self and into the territory of imagination;
into the sea of images, cultural memories ancestral voices that is our
birthright; this is a celebration of our uniqueness; a coming home to
ourselves in all our holy imperfection.
All very well. I hear you say, but how do I begin? Where do I start?
In this workshop we will experiment with a fund of ways to sneak past
the dragon that guards the blank page. We work as a group, using reminiscences,
sense, memories, short story writing, poetry and visualization. Encouraging
and supporting one another; sharing vitality, zest, truth; sharing the
wealth of stories both sad and happy, both painful and light-hearted
that live in us, we become again the brave, funny, original child we
once were. We reintegrate that which has become alienated. We reclaim,
revalue, recover the life-force itself.
Everyone is talented, original, and has something important to say.
Come and discover your voice. Come and be surprised! Everyone can do
this.
