Storytelling+Collage: Unlock Your Own Story
Everyone has a story to tell and each one of us is the hero of our stories. In this workshop participants explore the hero's journey in a series of collage making and journal writing exercises. Inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell and Carol S. Pearson, I combine my love for the intuitive collage making process and creative journal keeping.
In this workshop you'll:
- Be guided through the hero's journey, a process that you can return to again and again for exploring the stories that shape who you are and what you believe about yourself.
- Play with the creative medium of collage. Tips and techniques are shared for working with simple magazine style, mixed media, and digitally created collages.
- Sort through life experiences. The hero's journey provides a wonderful model for making sense of what seems like random events in our lives.
- Explore inner critics, outer critics, and fears and give them a safe place for expression. The process of listening to our shadow Selves actually releases what is blocking us from living the life of our dreams.
- Reveal your unique gifts and find ways to express them in the world.
