JOIN US FOR THIS UNIQUE PERSONAL STORIES WORKSHOP!

Through writing, drama, movement, art and play, each participant will create and perform an original theater piece based on their life experience. Emphasis will be placed on choosing a story that will take you to a growing edge while cultivating deep courage and self-compassion. Attention will be given to both the aesthetic and therapeutic aspects of storytelling. The workshop will culminate in a performance for an invited audience.
