Embracing Your Life workshops

We had our first workshop today. Sarah Parsons lead us in exploring words. We wrote 3 sentences about an object that we brought to the workshop. The sentences were then cut up into words. We were then asked to remove any words that we thought we didn't need. These words were then placed in the middle of the group and then offered to other members of the group to use if they wished.

This started us thinking about the stories we had to tell. Next Cate McCarthy encouraged us to find images of things that held associations for us in a range of magazines. We began to make collages which we could incorporate the words wrote, drawing, stories ....... we will work on these next workshop on 14 August, 2009. Other people are welcome to join this workshop. Participants enjoyed sharing their stories and trying something new.
