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 dash off a poem or a painting and attribute them to flashes of inspiration. Every work you create, no matter how long or how short, must be well thought out and laid down as perfectly as possible. In a manner of speaking, every work should not only contain the esthetic foundation and philosophical spine of your oeuvre, it should also contain the entire essence of your life from your birth to the present time.
