Fleshed Out: An embodied writing & movement workshop

Posted on by Ryan Collins

This workshop aims to connect minds to bodies and encourage self-empowerment. Our bodies are our homes and in our daily lives, we are forced to separate body from mind. In this two-part, one-day workshop, we will get to know our bodies and connect our creative lives to our physical lives.

Through a holistic and empowered lens, burlesque performer Mary Quite Contrary will lead participants through one hour of burlesque movements that will connect sensuality to the day-to-day. There will be a water and snack break, following which, writer Sarah Elgatian will follow with a writing practice that uses the body as a grounding space for our physical work.

Narrating Grief Through Poetry #2 – Workshop led by Becky Nakashima-Brooke & Ryan Collins

Posted on by Ryan Collins

Following their “Narrating Through Grief” workshop in November, MWC and Illuminate Healing Studio will host a writing workshop centered on grief: writing into and through it, using sound and poetry as tools to both capture and release it in creative ways. Hosted by Becky Nakashima-Brooke and Ryan Collins, the program will feature a sound bath, brief readings and discussion, and time to write and share as a group. This workshop will feature different readings and writing prompts than the last one, FYI.

Please email Ryan Collins (mwc@mwcqc.org) to register. Cost for the workshop is “pay-what-you-can” at the door on the day of the event; if you can’t pay anything, no problem.
