Radio Muse: Writing Workshop with Meg Weber
Sep 10 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Workshop Series at The Sou’wester

Radio Muse: Writing Workshop with Meg Weber

Writers find inspiration anywhere. In this workshop, we’ll use song lyrics from singer-songwriters as prompts for writing. We’ll explore how the confluence of words, rhythm, melody, and harmony affect our own words and stories. We will listen to songs from several musicians and read along with the lyrics. Then we’ll write together and share these fledgling bits of story aloud. At the end of our workshop, you’ll walk away with several short pieces of fresh writing and hopefully a new appreciation for how music can influence and inspire your writing. Fiction and nonfiction writers welcome, no experience necessary. 


Meg Weber writes to connect with herself and to understand the world around her. She believes in the power of words and in the synergy created by writing in community. Meg holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology and is a therapist in private practice. Her work has been featured at MUTHA Magazine, The Manifest-Station, and The Quotable. She is currently at work on two book-length memoir projects.


COST: $40

BRING: Notebook, writing instruments, photograph that represents a memorable event or age in the individual’s life (suggested, not required.) Please bring a sack lunch and/or snack. Hot tea and coffee provided.

All workshops are open to the public.

All Skill Levels Welcome.

Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette
Sep 15 @ 10:00 am – 10:45 am

WEEKLY EVENT

Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette

Shanna is a certified yoga teacher, ordained metaphysical counselor and empath. Her journey began as a small child inadvertently discovering deep meditation as an escape from abuse. Having always had an interest in the unseen and unexplained, she began having out of body experiences before learning to speak.  Eventually she received a regents scholarship to ASU for religious studies. A series of intense life changing experiences including a serious car accident brought her to the first of several “awakenings,” beginning most notably in 2005. She now helps people through the shift in consciousness we are currently experiencing, assisting them along the path toward self-forgiveness and self-love – the greatest journey of all.  

Truly exemplifying her favorite quote from Kahlil Gibran, “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain,’ she adds, “The journey to wellness is a constantly evolving process where we learn to nurture body and mind beginning with the heart; To truly understand that the most important step to long-lasting good health and harmony isn’t necessarily about sweating our way to perfect abs or contorting our bodies into painful positions. It starts within. It’s about self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-love. It’s about learning to accept and respect ourselves wherever we may be. Through the physicality of yoga, we tune into a deeper more expansive space beyond the trivial day to day. We learn that it’s ok to nurture ourselves and to ALLOW our spirits to be happy.”  

Shanna received her yoga teacher’s certification at Bryan Kest’s world renowned studio in Santa Monica, CA. She attended Arizona State University for Religious Studies, and is currently studying at the University of Metaphysics Sedona. She is available for private yoga and counseling sessions and can be found at:
