ABOUT THE WORKSHOP/MINI-RETREAT
A Map of the Journey in Process: Conversations At The Growing Edge
“The world is made, not of atoms, but of stories.” —Muriel Rukheyser
A warm, welcoming and creative exploration of our personal and collective journeys. Using music, visual art, poetry and openhearted conversation, Carrie will honor the story of our history, reflect upon our current inner and outer experience, and envision our hopes for the future as we lean into our next growing edges. Carrie invites and welcomes anyone with or without previous experience in writing, songwriting or creative expression to exploring new ways of envisioning our own stories through a new creative and compassionate lens.
