Description
"There are days I drop words of comfort on myself like falling leaves and remember that it is enough to be taken care of by myself."
- Brian Andreas
Welcome to the #embirialife, Toronto's newest way to enjoy unique, curated and pre-packaged experiences and activities that allow you to connect with yourself and others.
Facilitated by arts educator and author Sheniz Janmohamed, this creative workshop will encourage you to contemplate transformation in your own life, seek warmth in creativity, and find inspiration in the falling of the leaves.
As we prepare for cooler months ahead, we seek comfort from within and without. The origin of the word "comfort" has its roots in the word 'strength' from com- (expressing intensive force) + Latin fortis 'strong'. Indeed, being comforted and comforting others can strengthen us. Partake in creative prompts that embrace the transient nature of the season and remind you of the joy of finding comfort in words.
Get comfortable with a hot cup of tea, tuck in to delicious food, and and rekindle your creative fire just in time for colder weather. All taking place inside of the beautiful Bombay Street Food. Note: your ticket includes a cup of coffee or chai, plus chaat (an Indian appetizer).
You'll also be given a beautiful journal provided by Indigo and a writing exercise from Sheniz so that you can continue your creative journey at home.
