Join me and fellow writer-creators on the third Wednesday of each month as we come together to cultivate a tender space for touching in, opening up, and inviting words, and/or other forms of expression, to flow.
Come prepared with something to write on and with (journal & pen, paint brush and scroll, giant sketch pad…), comfortable clothes to sit and move in, and space cleared for an hour of settled awareness and creative movement. We’re conceiving of ‘writing’ broadly here - in any given session, your creative movement might be through words, might be through images, might be through body shapes & motion. Noticing what modes of expression are true for you in the moment and practicing reverence for them by allowing them to move into the world.
We’ll begin each gathering with an embodied mindfulness practice to help us settle into our senses. These practices might include meditation, movement, and/or journaling. The meat of the gathering will be devoted to writerly movement—that is, allowing some words or other modes of expression to flow—with a writing prompt you may or may not choose to follow. We’ll close each gathering with giving thanks and an opportunity to offer some expression into the space.
All writers—and yes, claiming ourselves as writers, or other kinds of creators, does feel important—are most welcome and invited to do what feels good to them as long as it aligns with the basic tenets of our space:
Welcome it All
Listen with Respect and a Willingness to Expand
Meet Urgency with Curiosity and Compassion
Lean into Disharmony with Care and towards Repair

In case you’re not familiar with sliding scales/pricing equity structures, or you’d like a refresher,… they give us the opportunity to be honest about what racist, nationalist, patriarchal, capitalist, heteronormative and other systems of inequity have given to and/or taken from each of us and our lineages. They also give us the opportunity to disrupt dominant individualistic and transactional norms by allowing this honesty to guide us in supporting ourselves and others.
If you have questions about any of this, please let me know!
