Metaphors in Motion: A Playful Workshop for Creative Minds with Kirk McCarthy

Some journeys begin with a suitcase. Others begin with a sentence.Step into a world where thoughts wear hiking boots, emotions hitch rides, and ideas swing lanterns to light the way. This workshop isn’t just for artists or writers (though they’re more than welcome); it’s for anyone with a mind that meanders and a heart that wanders.

Join us for an afternoon of metaphorical spelunking through the caves of creativity and curiosity. Using a toolkit brimming with hundreds of vivid, surprising prompts, we’ll explore how embodied metaphors shape the way we think, speak, grow, and stumble forward. You might discover your motivation is a wind at your back—or a mule with opinions. You might reimagine doubt as fog, or trust as a narrow bridge.

Whether you’re sketching, journaling, reinventing yourself, or simply trying to make peace with the chaos of it all, this workshop offers playful insight, shared exploration, and more than a few aha! moments disguised as detours.

Open to artists, writers, seekers, and the metaphorically curious—no experience needed. Just bring your imagination.
