Suzan Zeder and Jim Hancock - Creative Writing



Spaces of Creation: Saturday, July 30, 2:30 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Inside every human being is a wellspring of creative consciousness that provides the energy for all artistic, analytic, expressive behavior. This body/mind workshop will take you on a journey into your own spaces of creation where ideas are born and spontaneous impulses are generated free from the fear of failure. Together we will explore techniques to help you access your own inner resources in writing and in movement. Our goal is to restructure change and self-awareness so that you may find the fullness of yourself in the depth of your creation.
