Writing is an act that has the power to transform a person’s perspective, mood and way of thinking and being in the world. “It’s an art and an important form of expression — I do believe it’s therapeutic,” says author Ellen Bell.
Join Ellen for a Creative Conversation designed to help you cultivate a mindful awareness of your thoughts and feelings and, where possible, make adjustments to increase your positivity level through journaling. After a discussion of the process, Ellen will provide a prompt designed to get everyone’s creative juices flowing. Participants are then invited to wander in the studios and gallery, paying attention to artworks that catch their eye or trigger good feelings or fond memories. After expanding upon those thoughts and feelings in their journal, small discussion groups will reconvene and share, if they want, what they experienced.
Refreshments, wine, and coffee are offered. The donation covers the cost of the event.
