Who Are You? Exploring Biography through Dialogue and Writing Creatively with Each Other

NOVEMBER PUBLIC WORKSHOP WITH MARGLI & PAUL MATTHEWS

What makes a lifetime more than just one thing after another?
Imagination. Each person we meet is a messenger. Each turn in the road brings news of who we are.

Short talks on the theme will serve as inspiration for exploring, through dialogue and playful writing, the unfolding gesture and meaning of our life story.

Each workshop on Zoom includes small group exercises and reflections shared in the full group. We will use artistic and imaginative exercises to open up biographical experiences. And, as always, we will practice listening deeply.

Our monthly workshops are not recorded to respect the confidentiality of our participants. The cost for for our public workshops is on a sliding scale from $25.00 to $100.00. You will receive a Zoom link a day prior to the work.
