If you write memoirs or other non-fiction you may think that the creative writer’s province is the world of fiction. But every writer has a creative center that is the spark lighting the fire of the ideas and desires that spur you to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard!). Awakening to yourself as a creative being means enhancing your ability to play with the abandon of the child. Doing so brings the great joy of giving your creative energy to the world in tangible ways. Join us for this innovative workshop to tap into your creative center.
