Recovering Your Creative Spirit
Recovering Your Creative Spirit
with Brenna Fitzgerald
Sunday, Oct. 19th, 1-5pm
ages 16+
No experience required
$120
In this workshop we will explore the feeling of being creatively stuck and how it affects our inner and outer worlds. Through the practice of intuitive collage accompanied by written reflection, group discussion, and mindfulness practices, I will guide participants into a deeper understanding of their own creative blocks. Together we will create a safe and supportive container for each person to begin the process of shifting from stuck to unstuck. My intention is to facilitate awareness of and curiosity around the needs and desires of your creative spirit and to share tools and practices to help you sustain a fulfilling creative flow and engagement in life well beyond the workshop.
Participants are also encouraged to bring any materials of personal value that they might like to use for collage such as greeting cards from loved ones, fabric, wrapping paper, ribbons, pressed leaves, old photographs etc.
