Co-writing with the Subconscious
What you will do: Practice creative writing using methods developed by artist and therapist Ria Cordeiro

This workshop invites you to explore innovative approaches to creative writing that blend intuitive expression, somatic practices, and artistic exploration. This workshop is perfect for writers, artists, and curious minds eager to explore the intersection of creativity, the subconscious mind, and embodied practices. With a balance of guided proposals and personal exploration, it’ll be possible to uncover surprising ways to connect with oneself and the written word. Rooted in surrealist traditions, somatic psychology, and meditative practices, this journey offers a unique path to self-discovery. Whether for a seasoned creator or someone new to the world of writing, this experience will allow the opportunity to dive deeper into intuitive expression and emerge with new perspectives and inspirations.
