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.

I sleep nine to ten hours a night at least twice a week, and I do so WITHOUT medication. A friend asks me how I can do that at my age.

Despite all theories that mention melatonin and seratonin, in all of my creative writing workshops I list down sleep as one of the 21 DEFENSE MECHANISMS. It can be used by you--or any of your characters--either to punish or to reward (protect) the body.
