Philosophy

Philosophy of Butterfly Effect Writing Workshops

Together we create an exploration of connection and vision, voice and beingness, simply by sharing the same space, place, air---the planet.

"It is the air that connects us.
It is the air that separates us..."
--Yoko Ono from Grapefruit

Just as in visual art or quantum physics, writing creates new/varied views of life for the reader/audience. Because as writers we have the ability to inspire these shifts in consciousness--consider the work, for instance, of Frank Waters- it is clear that writing as art can heal the human condition, even where all other human efforts fail.

For this reason, all writing workshops/presentations in this Butterfly Effect series intend to inspire participants with the concept of living as art, art as written as well as verbal and visual. In this way we move through writing as art, art as an avenue for change and change inspired by the individual in relation to/connection with each the other, all life becoming one.

The workshops and presentations, in this way, encourage an ongoing bond between writing and surroundings, self and other, between participants and presenter, society and psyche, Earth and survival.
