Summary:
Join Koraly Dimitriadis for a workshop that will inspire participants to push boundaries, shed inhibitions and get to the heart of expression. This workshop won't be prescriptive or suggest that there is a "correct" way to write, but will provide techniques for writers who want to build confidence and support participants as they develop courage. This intimate workshop will encourage participants to be fully open to the experience of their truth and provide opportunities to practice sharing writing and/or performance..jpg)
