For writers and artists

This workshop became a beautiful freestyle creative space that encouraged participants to step out of their comfort zone.  With Rob Waters and Jodie Herden leading the way by delivering a deeply  moving impromptu performance art that inspired, and challenged, participants to express themselves in an flow of words and art. 
It takes a lot of courage to share these expressions, and we applaud everyone at the Words. Art. workshop.
We're privileged to share some of these works.  Thank you to everyone. It was an amazing day!
