Ekphrasis at Home: an online creative gathering for women
Ekphrasis is a vivid, detailed response to visual art through writing. It explores the way imagery can evoke emotion and meaning beyond what can immediately be seen.
Adapted into an online experience, this reflective collage + poetry workshop invites participants into an intentional creative process from the comfort of their own space.
Through guided meditation, intuitive collage, and reflective storytelling, imagery and language come together as a way to explore emotions and perspectives that are often difficult to access through logic alone.
Participants are welcome to create using any materials they already have at home, including magazines, photographs, journals, printed imagery, or found materials that feel personally meaningful.
No artistic or writing experience is needed; only curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore.
WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR:
This experience is designed for women interested in listening more deeply to themselves. Whether you consider yourself artistic or not, this gathering is intended as a welcoming space to create intuitively, and reflect in community with others.
WHAT TO BRING:
• magazines, newspapers, printed imagery, or photographs
• scissors and glue
• paper, a journal, or a notepad
• pens or markers
• any meaningful or sentimental materials they’d like to incorporate into their collage
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• Guided grounding meditation
• Intuitive collage-making
• Reflective writing and storytelling prompts
• Optional group sharing
• Closing visualization exercise to integrate the experience
In a world that moves quickly and demands constant output, this gathering is an invitation to slow down, create intuitively, and reconnect with deeper parts of yourself.
I look forward to creating with you!
