How to Cure a Ghost: The Power of Vulnerability in Creative Expression

Led by esteemed poet Fariha Róisín, this workshop will explore the transformative power of vulnerability in creative expression, using Fariha's book "How To Cure A Ghost" as a tool. The hour-long session will consist of three parts centered on three important questions:

First - What is Vulnerability?
Second - Why is it a useful resource in our lives for creativity, and healing?
Third - How can we start adapting our experiences to create strong, important work that will have an impact on the world?
