The only consistent thing is that everything keeps changing. When life feels out of control, or when our situation is constantly changing as it has been during this pandemic, what can you do? How do you focus on what you can control so you can feel in charge of your responses?
This 1-hour virtual workshop will help you move from feeling vulnerable to feeling empowered. The workshop format will be a combination of journaling and sketching exercises, as well as storytelling. You will be encouraged to share your responses only if you choose to.
Each participant should come with paper or a journal and a pen or pencil to write and draw with.
Our Presenter: What began as a way of holding space for herself following breast cancer treatment has led Meryl Cook to a career as an artist and writer and to working with teams to help their well-being and engagement. Meryl Cook Engagement by Design is a certified women-owned business through WEConnect International: www.merylcook.ca. Colour, texture, joy and self-compassion are the key features of Meryl Cook’s beautifully-crafted hooked rugs, her books about her journey from homeopath to artist and journal writer, and her journal writing practice. Meryl is a Journal Council member of the International Association for Journal Writing. She is the author of two books, One Loop at a Time: A Story of Rughooking, Healing and Creativity (2016) and One Loop at a Time, The Creativity Workbook (2017).
