Creativity Workshops
DESCRIPTION: The Creativity Workshop uses Writing, Drawing, Storytelling, and Memoir as tools to explore and develop creativity. The Workshop is designed to help you find new sources of inspiration, break through creative blocks, take pleasure in your imagination, give yourself the permission, time, and encouragement to do creative work, and develop a daily practice to accomplish these goals. The workshop was founded in 1993 and it has helped individuals from all backgrounds and experiences explore the uniqueness of their imagination in all endeavors. We teach from the point of view that people are by nature creative and that creativity, like DNA, is different in each individual.
