In this interactive workshop\, we will first take the time to define the four steps of the creative process: Preparation\, Incubation\, Illumination\, and Implementation. Then we will make these steps OUR steps – literally our footsteps – as we walk the labyrinth. \nAll who take this workshop are encouraged to have an interest in the arts\, particularly writing\, literary arts and visual arts.

Please don’t feel that you already have to be an artist or writer to do this – anyone with an interest is encouraged to participate. \nAfter the discussion of the creative process\, we will all walk the labyrinth. Upon reaching the center of the labyrinth\, participants will jot down notes or sketches of the images and thoughts they had on the spiral in. The walk from center back to the beginning is a focused time to let your idea(s) take shape. Upon stepping out of the labyrinth\, participants will start to formalize and work on their project – an art piece or written work – within the time allotted. \nAll participants will leave the workshop with a project well underway and helped on its way by turning our footsteps into the steps of the creative process. \nPre-registration is required\, as space is limited.

SUMMARY:Betwixt\, Between\, and Beyond - Writing with the Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Betwixt\, Between\, and Beyond – Writing with the Ancestors\nA Writing Workshop with Storyteller & Author\, Tracy Chipman\nOn the Full Hunter’s Moon\n\nJoin us for this special writer’s workshop with Storyteller and Author Tracy Chipman at Kinstone. This workshop offers a way for us to explore relationships with ancestors and the more-than-human worlds in the liminal space on the threshold of Samhain. Participants will engage in writing as well as walking\, meditation\, reflection\, gentle embodiment practices\, and sharing. \nWhat will you find in the spaces betwixt\, between and beyond yourself when you put your pen to paper here at Kinstone on the Full Hunter’s Moon?  A walk amidst the standing stones of the Great Stone Circle\, winding your way along the Serpent of Transformation\, or sheltering your soul in the chamber of the Kinstone Dolmen for a spell may be just what is needed to inspire and elicit your written words for the day. Come with your pen and paper\, an open heart\, and a willingness to step forward through thresholds open only to you at this time and in this place. No writing or meditation experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome. \nSamhain is an ancient Celtic tradition celebrating the end of the old year – the sowing\, growing and harvesting is complete\, and the new year opens into the dreamtime of winter.  It is also believed that during the threshold of Samhain the boundaries between the physical world and the spirit world dissolve to some degree\, allowing (often unexpected) interactions between humans and the denizens of realms beyond our own. Samhain energies offer deeper connections\, inviting us to step forward into a new season and a new relationship with ourselves and all beings – both visible and invisible – that inhabit our lives. We are kin. \nDate: Saturday\, October 28\, Full Hunter’s Moon\nTime: 3:00pm to 5:00pm\nLocation: Kinstone\, S3439 Cole Bluff Lane\, Fountain City\, WI 54629 \nCOST:   Regular rate – $40/person / Early Bird rate – $30 by October 14\, 2023\nSeats are limited so get your ticket early! However\, once purchased\, there are No Refunds. \n  \nIMPORTANT: This event will be held rain or shine! If weather is inclement we will remain indoors in the Kinstone Education Center for comfort. No refunds! \nWhat to bring: \n\nBring your preferred writing supplies – notebook\, pen\, pencil\, tablet\, laptop\, or whatever you like to work with best.\nA blanket or cushion\, if you wish\, for your comfort; chairs will be available to all for our indoor sessions.\nYour own water bottle / travel mug. Note: water\, coffee and tea will be provided; and we encourage you to bring your own water bottle/travel mug to drink from.\nBring your own umbrella\, sunglasses\, sunhat\, or other personal items you desire for your comfort; dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes for outdoor portions of this class (weather permitting)\n\n  \n\n\n\nAbout Tracy Chipman\nTracy Chipman is a storyteller\, somatics/yoga instructor\, mentor and writer. She is a Wisconsin native who has traveled far and wide\, and now resides in northern Wisconsin\, occupying the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe peoples. She has been a storyteller for more than 27 years. In March 2023 Tracy published her first book\, Borealis Mundi – Resting in Place\, Loss & Grace. Tracy weaves the ancient art of oral storytelling with writing and somatic practices to create unforgettable experiences inviting us towards more embodied experiences with the living\, animate world. Visit her website\, tracychipman.net\, to learn more about her work.\n\n\n\n“I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you\, and that you will work them\, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom\, till you yourself burst into bloom.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
