Life is full of possiblity
Chronically Inspired Workshop: “Chronically Inspired” is a dynamic hour long workshop on using the arts and creativity to rise above chronic conditions including pain, fatigue and changes in ability. Joy developed a neurological disorder at age 16 and learned early on to use the power of writing, art and music to live fully. Now at age 51, she has developed a class to share the techniques she has used throughout her life to rise above medical diagnoses. She is a writer, storyteller and fabric artist whose work emphasizes the power inherent in life changes. She will share her story and the stories of others who have overcome life-altering physical conditions through creative living and provide exercises to:
- Refocus thoughts in a creative direction when pain, depression or fatigue seem to dominate
- Build a “creative bank” of inner resources through reading,writing, viewing art and listening to music
- Overcome fear and embrace creative expression
- Move from a productive ethic to a creative flow
- Recognize life itself as an art!
This workshop takes participants beyond visualizations to strengthen creative thoughts even in the midst of crises. The workshop will teach participants to lighten their hearts and jumpstart the natural power of inspiration to rise above physical limitations. Program will be followed by a question and answer session.
**Joy also offers online follow up support through her website and personal email contact.** Please see the website Chronically Inspired to see the wealth of material this workshop is drawn from.
