VOICES
OF WISDOM – GUEST PRESENTER CONRAD LEVASSEUR - Tuesday March 5, from 1-3 PM at
Manzanita!
Conrad
Levasseur, poet and writer, as well as Director of Community Relations and
Development at Ironstone Vineyards, will be presenting a free workshop in
Creative Journaling at the Tuesday, March 5, at the Voices of Wisdom free
writing classes for seniors session from 1-3 pm.
Location:
Manzanita Arts Emporium in Angels Camp. The two-hour session will focus on
opening channels of creativity, using art and the written word to stimulate
personal ways to express artistic desire. Keeping a multimedia journal can be
used to record emotions, memories, creative ideas—as well as trigger hidden
images and language repressed by our busy lifestyle and workaday world. Conrad
Levasseur has developed a method that will pique interest in one’s own artistic
talents and may assist the writer, artist, or anyone interested in expanding
their artistic desires, to experiment with images and language.
Journal
writing, poetry and art have been important mediums for Conrad in helping to
balance his outer explorations with his more inner ones. He has taught
workshops in multi-dimensional journal writing, using these elements and others
as a therapeutic way to put one’s business, or academic life, into a greater
creative perspective. He has published seven books of poetry, and is currently
working on several manuscripts and a complete collection of his poetry. He and
his wife, Margaret, moved with their three children from San Francisco to
Calaveras County in 1981.

(Travel Corporation of America), designing and implementing global travel
