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.

When undergoing a crisis or when something upsets you, write something immediately. Channel your feeling into your creative work. This is the best way to experience and create that elusive type of Greek love, pathos. (The other types of love being eros, philia, and agape).

The feeling is the wind, your writing is the sail, the boat you are in is your writing career, and the water is literature.
