CREATE NARRATIVE ART
Who are we to write our story? Must we ask permission to write the truth? The act of crafting engaging stories elevates them beyond valuable journaling to a place where they become a vital and dynamic tool for self-discovery, clarity, resolution, and healing. Yet the daunting questions of permission and truth-telling can keep the writer from moving into a place where voice, story, and clarity are free to emerge.
Join award-winning author Elissa Altman as she teaches you how to marry writing to contemplation and create narrative art from your experience. You will:
- Explore the creation of engaging personal storytelling and memoir.
- Focus on overcoming ancient shame narratives and make meaning out of chaos.
- See the truth and healing potential in your words.
Learn to move beyond the constraints of fear to a place of profound awareness that the stories we carry are ours, and make us who we are. Please come with a willingness to unravel issues of truth and permission on the page, and an acknowledgement that the impulse to tell one’s story must be honored.
NOTE Please bring a journal and pen or pencil.
