Archetypes, Narratives, and Point of View: Writing in Your Intuitive Voice
A ONE-DAY INTUITIVE LANGUAGE SKILL-BUILDING WORKSHOP
SUNDAY, MARCH 25: 10 am - 4:30 pm
This one-day Intuitive Language workshop will focus on skill building, giving voice to one’s intuitive language. One of the most difficult aspects of intuitive language development can be expressing or translating intuition externally, particularly through spoken communication. This can be frustrating and intimidating, sometimes leading to a disconnect between one’s internal intuitive process and what one is able to represent in daily life interactions. When kept on an internal loop, the intuitive language story may not be fully understood, or become stunted.
Using the written word can be an excellent bridge between the internal and external voices. Writing in the intuitive voice allows intuition to share itself in a different medium and may provide insights which were unclear in the internal environment/language.
This workshop will provide opportunity to examine the narrative one’s intuitive language is currently carrying. Participants will learn strategies for writing in the intuitive voice and explore the value of different lenses for this narrative, using archetypes, perspective, and point-of-view.
Together participants will read, experience, and discuss curated poems, essays, and other literary pieces exemplifying writing in the intuitive voice. Participants will connect with archetypes and other intuitive tools they have studied and practiced in Intuitive Language classes and seminars, and practice writing in the intuitive voice in a supportive and safe environment.
Each participant to bring one item with them as a muse or prompt for this workshop.
This workshop will be co-taught by Shaindel Beers and Amanda Lattin, along with contributions from David Tircuit.
