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.

At the age of 15, everything you write and paint is autobiographical. After that you journey through the paths created by different philosophies, movements, modes of spirituality, and current events, and then mark a path of your own.

At 65, everything you write and paint becomes autobiographical again, this time with the maturity and deep insight that were not there when you were but 15.
