Nature of Words:  Write from the Soul

A Creative Writing Workshop 

Workshop Summary

In a relaxed and tranquil setting, you'll learn how to combine simple yoga techniques with writing practice to take you deep into your creative soul. You'll also learn habits and techniques that will boost the creative flow and help you harvest honest details from your own life to colour your writing. 

This workshop is about breaking free of structure and rules to release your voice, so we're presenting it in the natural and slightly wild setting of An Artist's Garden - Karin Bach's whimsical artisan studio and garden on the Bay of Fundy. Where better to let creativity flow, than on the shores washed by the planet's mightiest tides?  We will be sitting, walking, exploring, sharing.

You will leave refreshed, inspired and confident.

This workshop is suitable for beginning writers who want to learn how they can gather the seeds of their own life experiences to grow their writing skills.  It can also benefit seasoned writers who want to learn techniques that will revitalize their creativity.  No experience is necessary, either for writing or for yoga.  The yoga practice is also suitable for anyone.  

Whether you write fiction or non-fiction, memoir or poetry - or whether you just dream of writing - join us for the "Write from the Soul Workshop". This workshop will give you the permission and the courage to find fresh words in the stillness and put those words to paper.
