PORT TOWNSEND — Darsie Beck, an artist, journal-keeper and author of Your Essential Nature: A Practical Guide to Greater Creativity and Social Harmony, will give a free reading at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Beck, who also gives workshops in writing, visual art and unlocking creativity, will come from his Vashon Island home to speak in Cabin 259 at Fort Worden State Park, 200 Battery Way.
An artist who works in many media — carving stone, weaving words, painting in watercolor — Beck said his creativity stems from the maritime environment of the Pacific Northwest.
“I am convinced that the time I take to write, to record and reflect, to draw, paint and carve, significantly enhances my relationship to all things that matter most,” Beck said.
“As a practitioner, a teacher and an artist, I know my spirit and my spiritual experience is emboldened by these practices.”
Beck’s appearance is presented by Centrum.
