description:
We all have multiple identities—from parent to educator to advocate. Some of our identities arise from roles we play in relation to others, some are inherited, and others are chosen; some may seem stable and life-long, while others are fleeting or shelved.
In this 90-minute experiential workshop, we’ll discover, explore, and attend to our neglected identities—ones that may have receded, yet are ready for restoration—through the introduction of the Open Studio Process (OSP), a safe and simple art and writing practice that can be used to renew our sense of meaning and purpose.
