Unlocking creativity through metaphor: Join my workshop at Book Passage
“In the case of every historic scientific discovery and invention that is researched carefully enough, we find that it was imagery, either in dreams or in a waking state, which produced the breakthrough.”
—John Curtis Gowan
Humans have four ways of knowing: thinking, feeling, physical sensing, and imagination. Yet, in our modern world, we tend to favor only one—thinking. Of these modes, imagination—or “image-ing”—is perhaps the most powerful and least understood.
To explore this fascinating topic, I’m teaching an upcoming workshop at Book Passage on the role of image and metaphor. Together, we’ll delve into how metaphor shapes the creative process and influences the “lenses” through which we perceive the world.
Here are the details:
Metaphor in Everyday Life – Workshop
Book Passage, Corte Madera
Sunday, November 13th | 10 AM – 4 PM
Every aspect of our daily experience is shaped by metaphor. While writers often use metaphor to enrich their craft, the truth is that we are always interpreting the world through a metaphoric lens. In this experiential workshop, we’ll uncover how metaphor acts as a dynamic force in shaping perception and creativity.
I hope you’ll join us!
