Workshop
The Mindful Creative
**Please note all times are listed in EST**
With constant demands on our energy and attention, creating time to be fully present can be challenging. But with the right tools and techniques, our writing practice can be a safe haven and fertile ground for developing a mindfulness practice which grounds and supports us in our everyday life. This writing workshop offers mindfulness techniques that can be used anywhere, at any time, to support both your creative and self-care practices. Participants will understand and experience the benefits of mindfulness through various expressive arts therapeutic exercises intended to align focus, while bringing clarity to creative voice and vision.
Black Pruitt
Black (they/them) is a renaissance, embodying the legacies of artists like Josephine Baker and Ntozake Shange, who were unapologetic and unbound in their creative expression. They are an Afro-Indigenous, genderqueer healing and teaching artist based in Bulbancha (New Orleans, LA). Through transdisciplinary creative practice, Black transcends the boundaries between art and form to create space for healing, discovery and transformation. They are an Afrofuturist, conjuring and worldbuilding through the imagination to facilitate a sense of collectivity, wholeness and embodied wisdom. It is through this work that Black strives towards liberation. For more information, follow @thecreatorblack on social media or check out thecreatorblack.com!
