This ground-breaking vocal chamber work expresses the perspective of women astronauts in space with music by 12 women composers and video created from NASA footage.

Title: Rediscovering Your Creativity Anxieties about the future, as well as negative scripts from the past, can interfere with a writers ability to maintain focus and perceive insights. In this four-session online workshop, I guide participants in meditations to overcome their fears, develop visualization abilities, access their own divine inspiration, and use techniques learned from the workshop for self-affirmation. The process is collaborative, and participants are expected to journal and write short scenes to explore their memories and identify seminal moments. During the fourth week, participants share a story, essay, or poem inspired by their workshop experience. All will receive a recording of the final meditation to provide ongoing support. All sessions online on Zoom; times are EST (NYC-based). 4 Thursdays: February 4, 11, 18, 25, 2021, 6:30-8:30pm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bio Karen J. Cantrells work has appeared in various publications, including eMerge, Past Ten, the blog for the Living Lutheran, The Palo Alto Review, and an anthology from Red...
