SUMMARY:Virtual Speaking Advocates Training
DESCRIPTION:Interested in writing\, public speaking\, or acting? Art Spark Texas would like to invite you to share your story on the Art Spark podcast. The Virtual Speaking Advocates classes are an updated online version of our Opening Minds\, Opening Doors (OMOD) public speaker training program for adults with disabilities. We combine the art of storytelling with public speaking skills\, so our speakers can bring their stories to the general public and challenge misconceptions about what it means to live with a disability. Class members will have their final story included in future episodes of our Speaking Advocates podcast\, True Tales by Disability Advocates. \nRegister for the class here. \n \nImage Description: Screenshot of a Zoom meeting shows 20 men and women smiling for a photo.

Writing prompts will be provided for participants to generate original work\, and sharing  will be encouraged for those who would like supportive feedback.

Participants can expect to leave the workshop having created new work (poems or short prose pieces)\, as well as having generated plenty of raw material for further writing. \nWhat to bring: All you’ll need is something to write on and with; and your own water bottle is always a good idea. \n** Please wear appropriate clothing and walking shoes for the nature walk. This event is specifically for Women Veterans\, current\, and prior military. \nLimited spots available. \nMobi Warren is a poet and naturalist who has led poetry walks and given nature-based writing workshops for over 20 years.
