Book Launch - Inner Landscaping: Natures Code for Cultivating Creativity

Inner Landscaping is a guide to reawakening your creativity by reimagining yourself as a thriving, adaptive ecosystem and trusting in your own inner guru. Inspired by Julia Cameron’s, The Artist’s Way and rooted in permaculture, the Inner Landscaping process guides you to cultivate your creativity in a powerful invitation to live more fully, consciously, and creatively — in harmony with nature. Emerging from transformative workshops designed for Bali’s Green School community, reawakens your creative life by aligning you with nature’s ways of transformation, offering a soulful and practical path through personal change. Uniquely designed for individuals and small groups—book clubs, writing circles, friendship groups— this collective approach is a joyful antidote to isolation.

The launch will be compered by Ms Susan Hocking.  Susan is a writer and journalist, who was a feature writer and columnist for Queensland Newspapers, at The Canberra Times and The Sydney Morning Herald, reporting nationally and globally. Susan sits on the Board of the State Library of Queensland Foundation and is a sponsor of the Queensland Literary Awards. She is currently focused on the telling of stories by supporting the development of films and documentaries. 

Workshop - Writing using the Story Workshop Method

Kinchem has presented this invaluable workshop internationally. The Story Workshop method is based on oral story-telling and is designed to cultivate a story-state-of-mind in a small group setting. It is a generative writing process that focuses on hearing your own individual voice in a fun, interactive, and challenging session. The Story Workshop method develops your reading, writing, listening, speaking, critical thinking and imaginative problem-solving capacities.

Kinchem learned this method of generative writing while studying with Story Workshop founder, John Schultz for her Masters in Fiction Writing at Columba College in Chicago. She then trained with John’s son Shawn Shiflet in 2019 and has run the workshops in Australia and internationally to writers, writing teachers and award winning authors.

Tickets include morning tea.
