Writing from The Heart

"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama. There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners. A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

Never write or paint to music--it will interfere with the creative process of your psyche. Long after your work is done, you will find it difficult to recapture your original, creative state and will find it almost impossible to revise your work satisfactorily, if you have to.

Always write or paint to silence, for it is only in silence that you can listen attentively to your heart.
