Everyday Magic: The Four Elements of Creativity

Add new energy, feeling, and clarity to your work - a must for writers looking to add depth and substance to their practice.

In this workshop we’ll harness the symbolic powers of the Four Elements for the inspirations and fresh perspectives they can bring to the craft of writing and any creative practice. Through readings and short writing exercises, we’ll explore ways in which Fire, Water, Earth and Air can add new energy, feeling, substance and clarity to our work.
