Writing with Joy: A Workshop on the Creative Life
'A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life'– Elizabeth Gilbert
Begin your new year by with a nourishing Sunday workshop to connect with and honour your creativity. In this 2-hour online workshop led by award-winning writer Bhavika Govil, we will learn to add discipline & compassion to our creative practice. Along with a community of people who love to create, we will learn how to build realistic goals, structures & rituals for the new year. We will read poems and essays that remind us of the play and pleasure of leading a creative life, and the reason we write, cook, sculpt or simply love to make things.What went well in our creative life this year? Can we infuse more lightness & joy to the process—and how? We’ll also spend time engaging in exercises and writing something anew.
Note: this workshop is for writers and artists of all levels.
