"Into Your Wild" Workshop with Heidi Kraay In-Person
Let’s breathe, shall we? And take a walk in the woods – our woods within. In this guided exploration, Writer-in-Residence at the Hemingway House Heidi Kraay will invite us into our interior wilderness to meet our secret biospheres – and any animals, children, entities living there. Inside our hidden landscapes, we may stand on the precipice of the unknown, leap into the void and land amid the soundscape of our true voice.
There will be breathing, stillness, resting, somatic felt-sensing, guided meditation. There may be light movement, wandering, writing, conversation. There could be a short reading.
Can this journey impact our art/writing/daily lives? Let’s find out. While co-regulating, resting, immersed in felt sense travels, we may also walk into the actual green surrounding us in this intuitive, sensory adventure.
Registration required. In person only. Bring a notebook. Dress for weather. Limited to 12 participants.
Playwright and writer-across-disciplines Heidi Kraay examines the link between brain and body, seeking empathy with fractured characters. She collides myth, metaphor and monsters to discover connections across difference. Dramatic work has been presented in Boise, regionally, in NYC and internationally, recently through Boise Contemporary Theater, The Liberty Theatre Company, Climate Change Theatre Action and Boise State University. Their plays include three exploring the hidden monsters inside us: Take Me Away, see in the dark, How to Hide Your Monster, additional full-lengths, co-devised projects, plays for young audiences and shorts. Projects in other disciplines include 12 Lifetimes: A Century Cycle, a memoir-adjacent book in the ancient century form, and Drown to Resurface, an album of poem-songs. In 2024, Heidi served as one of two inaugural Boise City Writers-in-Residence. Heidi holds an MFA from California Institute of Integral Studies and is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America. www.heidikraay.com
