Workshop Info:

In this interactive workshop, first we’ll revisit how writing, storytelling and art can be used to heal, transform, and inspire our lives, to then delve into the power of sound as a unique healing and transformative tool. We’ll see examples through some of my own experiences of how sound can be used to enhance or inspire a story, poem, or drawing, followed by various sound-based activities and exercises where you’ll be able to try out for yourself. And most importantly, no specific talent in writing or the arts is required! *Worksheet and art supplies provided but feel free to bring your own notebook and coloured pencils.
