What we'll do
Acorn is my newest telling of something I’ve been writing about for years, in The Creative Cure, Blessed Are the Weird, and The Divine Arsonist. In this workshop I’ll share some of the simplest practices from all of them.
- Acorn’s story. I’ll read from it, and we’ll listen for what it has to say about your own becoming.
- Breathe your way home. Simple ways to come back to yourself when stress spikes. No special posture or anything to buy.
- The hats you wear. Notice the roles you play, and which ones you may have outgrown. Leave with clarity on what’s heavy so you can start putting it down.
- Your trail of breadcrumbs. The clues you’ve been leaving yourself since childhood about what you love. You’ll begin to remember your earliest dreams and callings.
Kelly van Koppenhagen, who illustrated Acorn, will stop by to say hello.
There’ll be room to share, if you’d like to. Bring a journal (or a few sheets of paper), a pen, and somewhere you can sit undisturbed.
Your guide
I’ve spent most of my life unlearning what I was told about who I should be, and helping others do the same. I’m the author of The Creative Cure, Blessed Are the Weird, and The Divine Arsonist, and I created the Creative Self Journal, a practice thousands of people now use. I live in Boise, Idaho, and I’ve been leading workshops for years. Acorn is my newest telling of the same story: we are all becoming.
