Welcome!
Hi, I'm Joyce. I lead art and writing workshops designed to foster self-discovery, self-expression, healing, and personal well-being.
I am deeply inspired by the creative spirit we all share and fascinated by the power of artistic expression to transform and enhance lives.
I offer my workshops online and in-person and the intimacy and rapport that develops during the sessions continually amazes me.
I am awed by each and every participant who opens their heart in my workshops and honoured to bear witness to the sharing of their art and stories.

Workshops in the AWA method have been demonstrated to reduce isolation and loneliness through capturing and sharing stories an affinity group of writers who share similar challenges.
Connect, express yourself, and have affirmed, through bearing witness and having your writing listened to, that you are not alone. You do not need to consider yourself a writer to join and benefit from these workshops. The AWA Method has a proven track record of holding a safe, generative, and supportive space where both writers and writing can flourish.
I hope you'll join us.

Write From Your Heart is a writing workshop in which we use writing to express feelings and then share what we wrote with the group. The workshop provides a safe and welcoming space that promotes healing, support and empowerment through writing, reading our words and deep listening. It’s about self-expression, not being a good writer.
Each workshop starts with Joyce reading a poem or some other prompt that fires up your imagination. Then you write intuitively about whatever comes to mind. Finally, everyone reads their work out loud.
The group doesn’t critique, it just listens. It’s very freeing. You’ll feel heard and supported as you connect with yourself and the others. Insight, laughter and tears are hallmarks of the sessions! It’s intimate and powerful.
I hope you’ll join us.
