<p-style="helvetica"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXX=")[back to [[event listings]]] Writing happiness can be difficult for some writers and is a nuanced, complex topic but one we believe is very much worth exploring creatively. In this relaxed workshop, we will be thinking about the importance and value of writing about happiness, both for our own enjoyment and to develop our writing. Writing exercises will encourage reflection on why we do (or don't) write about happiness and we will consider the ways in which disabled people are often expected to write from a place of trauma or hurt, or else be 'inspirational'. Sunday 20th February 15.00 - 17.00 GMT A workshop exploring whether, how and why we write about happiness in a nuanced way. A workshop with Elspeth Wilson and Rachel Lewis. This will be a remote workshop. Sliding scale £5 - £15 Email theremotebody@gmail.com to reserve your spot

<p-style="helvetica"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> (align:"==>")+(box:"=XXX=")[back to [[event listings]] How can we use our senses and imagination in approaching the relational sensory nature of physical materials to expand and discover experience? This experimental workshop is about discovery, where we will use the material world, our imagination and our senses as tools to explore connections to the unknown. I will share examples on the relational conditions materials exists in and how our experience of materials and its conditions, reflects information back to us. If you would like to join this workshop I encourage you to bring a physical object or a material to visually share with the group. The object or material will work as a starting point for our journey to discover and extract meanings together while expanding each others horizons. A reading list will be distributed via email after the workshop. Suggested amount £5 - £15 Sunday 13 MAR 2 - 4 PM Email theremotebody@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

The workshop will begin with an introductory talk, where I share some of my research on the disability experience.The talk is embedded in historical references as well as contemporary authors and artists whose work is rooted in disability and, or, outlines trajectories of the disabled experience. Relational form and how relational form is created with stories, traditions, objects and actions, will be a red thread during the talk. This workshop will be a space to celebrate individuality, unite the similar and the different, without reducing either. Together we will explore and share ways to inhabit the disabled experience and how in doing so, we can lead with integrity and heart. If you would like to join us for this workshop I encourage you to bring something that matters to you in regards to the disabled experience to share with the group.Together we will hold a reflective and explorative space.
