Reading the multi-faceted and emotional personal journeys of others can breathe inspiration and a sense of knowing and connection into the fabric of our own lives. What personal experiences of yours are waiting to be expressed and shared as brave declarations of existence, learning, and evolution? In this workshop participants will learn a variety of creative writing and thinking processes that may be applied to any personal memoir writing project. By combining playful thoughtful explorations with basic embodiment and breath practices, you'll learn to create uniquely meaningful and informative artistic expressions in the genre of memoir writing, bringing to the surface deeply held knowing and awareness. No prior writing experience is needed. All materials are included although students are encouraged to bring their own notebook, sketchbook, or laptop.

Intuitive Painting at the Sierra 2 Center is not about making a "Perfect" painting. Creativity is not about getting it "right" or knowing what you're doing before you begin. There are no rules to memorize, no checklists to follow, and no experience required. What helps creativity grow is something much simpler- and much kinder: time and love.
