SUMMARY:Art of Writing workshop: Language of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:A poetry workshop with Kimberley Murphy\n\nAlmonte Readers & Writers is pleased to present the April series of Art of Writing workshops and courses exploring aspects of creative and technical skills development in literary arts\, offered as part of the 2025 Lanark Lit Festival of Writing. The intention of this poetry workshop is to liberate your body\, heart and mind to write freely and find a flow with your words — shake off what holds you back from beginning and continuing a creative writing practice. Join in for a transformative exploration of language and find the space to loosen constraints on your writing.\nAbout the instructor:\nKimberley Murphy is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is deeply rooted in a lifelong love for nature and animals. Since childhood\, this connection has shaped her creative vision. As an adult\, writing emerged as a vital practice\, allowing her to explore and articulate the language of\nher heart. Through her art\, Kimberley captures the essence of fleeting moments\, emotions\, and the changing seasons\, all of which reflect her internal landscape. Fueled by a rebellious and\nwild spirit\, she has embraced creativity as a means to harmonize her unruly heart. Currently\, Kimberley resides along the banks of the Mississippi River with her partner\, David\, and their rescue dog\, Rocky. \nThe 2025 Lanark Lit Festival of Writing is presented by Almonte Readers & Writers thanks to the generous funding support of Lanark County\, the Municipality of Mississippi Mills\, the Perth & District Community Foundation\, and the Elizabeth Kelly Library Foundation\, with community partnership from the Mississippi Mills Public Library\, the Perth & District Public Library\, Mill Street Books\, Almonte Writers Guild\, and with the community support of Equator Coffee\, OVC Almonte\, Jazzy’s Brewhaus and other local partners. \nPre-registration required via Tickets Please – $40.00 per registration \nExplore the full calendar of events for the 2025 Lanark Lit Festival of Writing!
