Taste + Write: Meditating on the Senses (In Person/Outdoor)
Taught by Kelly Laughlin
Kelly Laughlin is a multidisciplinary artist and educator who focuses on the playful, meditative acts of making. She believes every person is capable of living a creative life. Kelly is the founder of Odette Press, a paper marbling and bookbinding studio focused on specialty papers, books, and stationery, created with the intention to support self discovery and healing through the act of writing.
What happens to our writing and embodied experience when we slow down and connect to our senses? In this writing workshop, we’ll tend to taste, sights, sounds, smells, texture through food, music, creative prompts, guided conversation, and meditations for slowing down and being with life. Write to ground down into delight of being with what is in the present moment. You’ll leave with prompts and practices to enliven your writing & nourish your senses.
What’s included: snacks for tasting (fruit, chocolate, savory things) paper and pens and prompts to explore on your own time outside of class
What you’ll need: BYOB + a notebook and pen, or purchase one from Odette Press.
This is a 21+ experience. No writing or meditation background needed. We'll be OUTDOORS in the backyard for this session.
