Painting words: Letting art evoke writing

ByKim Hermanson

On November 15th, I’m going to be teaching a one-day class at Book Passage in Corte Madera. Here’s the writeup:

In this workshop, we will have an intimate conversation between art and writing, using art and its principles to shape and inspire the written word. Innovative writing exercises that engage the provocative relationship between words and images will encourage fresh ways of expression. Collage materials and other types of art will be used to open us up to a rich, aesthetic realm. The art forms may merge and you will be free to explore new possibilities for your writing. Both experienced and beginning writers will find this workshop valuable in inspiring their creative process.

The other day someone asked me how to get to a place of “third space” when one teaches or facilitates groups. Third space, which I also call the “imaginal” realm, is a place of expanded knowing and intuitive wisdom that happens when two or more people come together for a shared purpose. When it occurs…
