About Workshop

Peace of mind can seem elusive or out of reach. Yet sometimes simplicity brings about that peaceful moment you crave. The Grab Bag virtual workshop focuses on telling a story through a collection of random objects. Making sense out of randomness really engages participants to create stories which allow connection with others and a sense of community. By using the random objects in front you, you will explore and create a story which brings you peace of mind. Then share the experience by telling the story to the group. Simple, easy and collaborative — take this workshop and feel connected.
