Workshops

The workshops I offer focus on Creativity, Poetry, Haiku, Storytelling, and Drum Journeys. Each session is designed to help participants explore and nurture their creative potential. Whether you're crafting personal myths, engaging in rhythmic drumming, or expressing yourself through poetry, these workshops provide a supportive space for self-discovery and growth. My goal is to inspire every participant to tap into their inherent creativity, regardless of their background or skill level.

Creativity

The focus of creativity in a workshop is to demystify what creativity is and have the participants realize they are creative even though people have told them in the past that they are not creative, or they believe they are not creative. The mission is to explore what form of creativity is calling you. What have you dreamed of creating though you have felt unable to start the process?

Haiku

Usually, we start putting words together in the Japanese Haiku form since it has a simple structure. It consists of three lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables & and 5 syllables. It also has a nature theme involved which brings the participant outside of themselves to look and see what is available for them to capture in the moment.

Poetry

Writing poems from the participants experience is a possible next step. Once the participant is familiar with the simpler Haiku style, they may be curious to explore the more metaphorical longer poems. I don’t focus on things being right or wrong. Rumi said “…Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

Storytelling Journeys

Discover the timeless art of storytelling by delving into myths and legends. In this workshop, you’ll explore narratives that have shaped cultures and understand how they relate to your own life and journey. Participants will engage in creative storytelling exercises to craft their personal myths.

Drum Journeys

Connect with your inner spirit through the ancient practice of shamanic drumming. This workshop guides participants on a journey of self-discovery and healing, using rhythmic beats to enter meditative states. The drumming sessions are designed to foster a deep connection with your subconscious and the world around you.
