In this workshop, participants will cultivate self-expression and vulnerability through a meditative writing exercise using prompts. Participants will learn basic poetic devices and writing techniques to help process negative emotions and generate an intuitive poem. We will transfer our words from the page onto a plate. Participants will be given glass plates as a canvas to explore their creativity using acrylic paint and sharpies. Remember not to hold on to them too tight- participants will partake in a powerful plate smashing therapy exercise to symbolize breaking free from past grievances, limitations, fears and frustrations. You will share your poetry and be joined by your peers and community in celebration of a new and prosperous beginning.
