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 end of each day, before going to bed, write down everything you did and ate and said, everywhere you went, everyone you interacted with, and everything you thought from the time you woke up, and see how much you really remember.

This is an exercise in breaking down the defense mechanism repression, in strengthening your powers of observation, and in embracing both the pleasant and the unpleasant toward achieving inner balance.
