Creative Wordshops Whats on March 2021

1. Magaliesberg, Emoyeni Buddhist Retreat Centre Zen Pen: A Writing, Being & Meditation Retreat (bookings emoyeni.org.za )
   26-28 Feb 2021
   We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us to see their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our silence. (Yeats)
   Zen (Chinese chán ‘quietude’) invites us to be present, to live and write simply. Pen (Latin penna ‘feather’) refers to both practicing the art of writing and to the implement we use. It also invites us to play in a safe place – as in playpen. We explore the connection between writing and meditation. Both these states of grace slow us down so we can live in the moment. They increase our awareness and wake us up. We look with new eyes and hear with new ears. We write and meditate on the many changes and transformations we experience as we journey along the river of our lives. We consider how creativity steadies the boat and how writing helps us dip the oars into dark water so we may navigate the river safely.

2. Your Life, your Movie: 3 Sunday zoom(erang) storyshops-
   21 Feb 14 March 28 March
   Life is a tragedy viewed close-up and a comedy in the long shot (Charlie Chaplain)
   eImagine that you are directing your life as if it’s a movie and scripting (writing about) it. These 3 storyshops offer you an opportunity to do just this. While I suggest you enrol for all three, they also stand alone so each one will benefit your writing and story-telling. These wordshops will explore many questions.

What music score? Songs that evoke memories? Landscapes and seascapes? Places that hold energy for you? The architecture of the buildings?
Session 3: Synchronicities, Mysteries and Rolling Credits? – Sun 28 March
Synchronicities? Mysteries? What recurrent themes and repeated patterns? What symbols carry power for you? How would you represent them? What angles, lighting? What close-ups? How would you use the zoom? Where do you cut? What incidents do you leave off screen? And the ending… and rolling credits?
