The Miracle Question

Description

If you could wake up tomorrow and find that everything in your life had improved, what would that transformation look like? Join NC artist and mental health counselor Lamar Whidbee and discover how this Miracle Question can serve as a powerful catalyst for introspection and creative expression.

Through guided group discussions and periods of purposeful creation, you’ll learn to navigate your personal narrative, unpack the origins of your personal challenges, and create symbolic motifs to represent your experiences. Along the way, you’ll draw inspiration from artists such as Maria Magdalena Campos Pons, Jenny Saville, Hung Liu, Trenton Doyle Hancock, and Beverly McIver to focus your creative journey.

By the end of this seminar, you’ll emerge with a clearer vision of your future self and deeper understanding of how to share your story through authentic and meaningful works of art.
