with KALI QUINN
Everyone is an artist.
Everyone is an activist.
Everyone a teacher.
An expert.
What is the relationship between creativity, mindfulness, self-care, and bettering the world? How do you integrate love, work and play? How do you do this on your own? Within community?
Come jump-start your creative process and reconnect to the things you value most through a variety of access points including movement, visualization, writing, visual art, meditation, making music, nature time, and storytelling. Learn how to facilitate group play and hone your own daily practice of artistic expression and mindfulness.
Kali Quinn has been working as a theater artist and educator for fifteen years throughout the US and abroad. She recently completed a national home-to-home tour of her new teaching memoir, I AM COMPASSIONATE CREATIVITY. This book, which you will receive a copy of as part of the workshop, includes 111 values that celebrate ways of discovering compassion and creativity during moments of uncertainty.
Think of this as a place to play, rest, rejuvenate, and to courageously take risks.
All are welcome!
