Welcome Jörgen “UNOM” Gario

What is your definition of freedom? And how does this definition shape the material you write?

During this workshop we will work through a series of questions designed to work from our underlying definitions from which we shape our will. Bringing these definitions to the surface and examining them will hopefully make us aware of them.

This awareness will shift dormant definitions into living tools from which we can construct new stories. Every session is an experiment into our own realm of the unknown yet to be written.
