About this Event
On day one we will focus on the creative aspects of our lives. Liz will tell inspirational stories from her own life, and will lead the group in a series of written exercises based on the chapters of BIG MAGIC. Through these simple but moving exercises, we will begin to see how the different channels of fear, enchantment, trust, permission, and mysticism guide and direct the creative imagination. It is not necessary that people self identify as “creatives” in order to take this workshop. You don’t have to be a writer, an artist, a musician, etc. You just have to be interested in living a life that is based more upon curiosity than fear. All are welcome!
On Day Two we will talk about strategies of liberation from cultural and familial expectations. This will share her ideas about how radical in revolutionary it is to be a relaxed person in an ever more stressful world, and she will lead the group through a series of meditations and exercises intended to free people from the thought-prisons and toxic obligations that can make life feel like a torment instead of an adventure. Building upon the creative work we did the day before, these experiences will being a new and revolutionary sense of liberation to the participants. Again, all are welcome! The only thing you need to bring to this weekend-long event is a notebook, a pen, and an open mind.
