SPARKSHOP: Explore your Divine Self: Ekphrastic Writing through Art, Music & Photography with Joni $30
Dive in. Connect with art, deep emotions, and your creativity through guided writing. Ekphrastic writing can be a catalyst for discovery, creative exploration, and expression. Transform complex emotions of love, loss, and feelings of disconnection. Or just play and reconnect with your inner rebel child.
This SPARKSHOP focuses on the senses of sight and sound as writing prompts to help you dive deep into emotions. Using visual art, photography, and music, you’ll explore what lies deep beneath the surface.
Ekphrastic writing allows you to reimagine visual imagery or music through the lens of your perspective and creativity.
