SUMMARY:The Power of Sound for Storytelling\, Poetry & Art with Carmy Stubbs
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Sound for Storytelling\, Poetry & Art\nA Healing through Writing\, Storytelling & Art Workshop\nSat.\, Apr. 11th\, 2026\n​1:30 – 4PM\nwith Carmy Stubbs \nRegister: tri-citywordsmiths.ca\n​ \nWorkshop Info:\nIn this interactive workshop\, first we’ll revisit how writing\, storytelling and art can be used to heal\, transform\, and inspire our lives\, to then delve into the power of sound as a unique healing and transformative tool. We’ll see examples through some of my own experiences of how sound can be used to enhance or inspire a story\, poem\, or drawing\, followed by various sound-based activities and exercises where you’ll be able to try out for yourself. And most importantly\, no specific talent in writing or the arts is required! *Worksheet and art supplies provided but feel free to bring your own notebook and coloured pencils. \nBio:\nCARMY STUBBS is a lover of the Word and its power for transformation and healing. Through her poetry\, short stories\, writings\, and illustrations\, she explores the creative force of the Heart and the finding of one’s True Voice. Carmy is the author of the novel The Six Knowings of ASAIRA\, a metaphysical fantasy\, where all her loves ~ the poems\, the magic\, the storytelling\, and the search for the Divine~ weave themselves alchemically through text and illustration. Carmy also holds monthly meetings on creativity through meditation\, and workshops on healing through the arts. She is a member of the Tri-City Wordsmiths and ArtsConnect\, and lives in Port Coquitlam\, British Columbia\, with her husband\, Antonio\, and their dog\, Milo.
