Through Portland Women Writers, VoiceCatcher Pearl Waldorf offers a one-day writing and creativity workshop this August. (Please note date change to Aug. 22)
Participants will immerse in the powerful model inspired by The Hakomi Method, a body-centered form of psychotherapy. Pearl says, “We’ll spend a day together luxuriating in the gift of our own undivided attention, a transformative practice in itself. With compassionate guidance, we’ll dip into embodied experiences of the four stages of creative flow.”
