Date: Monday, December 1
Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Program Description:
Life can bring uncertainty in
areas such as health, relationships, work, and purpose - on individual and
global levels. Through the power of music and lyrics, participants will write
about their experience of uncertainty and how they respond to it.
Participants will have the opportunity to share and reflect upon one another's
insights – as collective wisdom unfolds. The workshop will be centered in the
framework of Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey and its stages. The emphasis of this program is on the process
of writing for self-discovery; thus, it is well suited for those who do not
aspire to be professional writers.
