SPARKSHOP: Ekphrastic Writing: Rewrite Your Story with Toni $47
Join us for a captivating writing workshop where we'll explore the art of EKPHRASIS - the practice of responding to visual art with words.
In this unique session, you'll bring a personal photograph (on your phone or printed) that holds significance for you.
This image will serve as our starting point, a visual prompt to unlock memories and explore the emotions, sensations, and stories connected to it. You'll be guided through techniques to observe your chosen photograph deeply, not just for what it depicts, but for what it evokes within you. We'll use prompts and exercises to delve into the layers of your personal connection to the image, allowing you to process or simple observe the memories and feelings that surface.
Crucially, this workshop also offers the powerful option to re-examine and re-write your story.
You'll have the opportunity to look at past events and narratives with fresh eyes, perhaps shifting perspective, finding new meaning, or even consciously choosing a new direction for how you perceive and articulate your experiences.
This is a wonderful opportunity to give voice to the silent narratives held within your photographs, transforming them into rich, personal reflections, and empowering you to shape your own narrative.
No prior writing experience is necessary, just bring one meaningful photograph and a willingness to explore.
All are welcome and writing materials will be provided.
Experience will take place at OFFICIAL RITUAL and require registration & payment through their platform linked below.
