Join Arts researchers Sydney Streightiff and RobinLi Uber in a Creative Encounters in Awe Walking workshop focused on the intersection of Awe and Grief. Together we will focus on how to use awe to ground ourselves in our feelings, and how poets have used their craft to do the same. Then, participants will be invited to create their own found poems from magazines using collage techniques. No poetry experience required, this will be a process-oriented space for creative exploration and sharing will be optional.

The Awe Collective is run by Dr. Jennie Gubner and her Ph.D. candidate, Sydney Streightiff, and explores how creativity can be used as a tool to enhance and encourage the wellness practice of awe walking. For more information visit awe.arizona.edu

This workshop is in collaboration with the Applied Intercultural Arts Research Program at the University of Arizona

How did you hear about this event?

Please Note: This is an interactive writing workshop that takes place in person. It is not a support group, but having said this, we will be talking about loss and grief, so we expect that tears and feelings of vulnerability may arise. This is normal and healthy. However if you have had a very recent significant loss and find yourself in the depth of grief, this may not be the setting for you at this time of your journey. If you wish to talk with someone about this in order to make a decision, contact us at info@tlcforgrief.org We will set up a time to talk with you.
