SUNDAY 12 FEB 2012
11AM - 5.30pm
“Spontaneous writing from the heart illuminates the brilliance of authentic whispers, secrets, wisdom, energy, health, intelligence and power of our Heart's Code,” says Lana.
Facilitator of creativity for 35 years, Lana draws on decades of experience creating an uplifting space for like-minded adventurers to reflect, refresh, heal and renew. You will be imaginatively guided to dare to be open, stay curious, mine and free your creativity while mindfully connecting in the moment just as it is - with no attachment to an outcome.
Lana says, “My true joy and liveliness is to wholeheartedly give writers the courage to playfully improvise with a rolling black pen. Writers are guided to move away in seeking fulfilment from looking outside ourselves to shine a clear light on a fresh new view from the inside - reuniting with a universe full of promise and abundance to find our lives are filled with choices and realizing on-the-spot heartbreakthrough. Seeing the world alchemized into beauty, wonder and timeless grace. Storytelling is part of our interior ecology and the heart of language. That’s the journey.”
Writing practice works. Just like the practice of sport or a musical instrument. Writing is powerful organic medicine. We all know we discover creativity only in action, yet we are inevitably taken aback by the effort and patience needed in the realization. Experienced and eager writers will soon appreciate that writing practice freely draws out creativity into full sunshine - uncovering hidden treasure in the heart. Writing with purpose and passion is a physical act of pure sensual pleasure, an invigorating creative tool to travel the hero/heroine's journey - moving beyond feelings of being stuck in the midst of so much chaos and instability to liberate the lover and writer within.
Lana is an experienced professional educator, attaining a Graduate Certificate in Writing while currently completing a MA in Writing at Swinburne University. Her lively innovative writing workshops originated by fusing the arts, literature, science, meditation, music, soft yoga and selected storytelling. In 2000, Celia Hunt PhD, University of Sussex UK, invited her to talk about this ground-breaking work. Celia says,
“Lana is a pioneer in Australia in the field of examining the potential of creative nonfiction writing in terms of its influence on the Self as the source for storytelling, writing to heal, and writing for personal development.”
Lana’s report on Write From the Heart & Use of Yoga in Education is published in The Australian Journal of Experiential Learning (1996) beside other experiential educators, and academics teaching at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). Lana is doing a MA in Nonfiction Writing at UTS.
Writing from the Heart
I had one of those universal, spontaneous meetings with Lana and had the pleasure of experiencing one of her workshops and wanted to share her great talent and this great experience with you, its far more than learning to write from the heart, its a journey into your soul and consciousness, these are my thoughts after the workshop.
'What I really want to say is that I have discovered from my 'writing from the heart' that moment by moment the truth is revealed in the heart. Each moment brings the opportunity for a flower to bloom deep within your soul.
Love, be it all there is .... I have learn't that writing from the heart offers new opportunity to express words and feelings that come from beyond the mind.
What I have gained today from writing from the heart is freedom from expectation that anything is as it seems. In every moment, see through the eyes of the heart, listen through the ears of the heart, taste with the taste buds of the heart.
If you heart was singing to you what song would it sing?
Through this experience I found freedom, love and a deep, deep gratitude and humbleness for the power of the written word.
A new awareness!
The truth is god is everywhere, sitting solely in a cafe, quietly baked in a cupcake.
The only thing is to be, trust and smile.'
Give yourself the gift of a day with Lana and your heart!
Much love
