ONLINE | By donation $0, $5, $10, $15

Meets monthly on the second Fridays | Free follow up – Friday, October 28 ⋅ 4:00 – 6:00pm, monthly on the fourth Fridays.

In these times of great change we will explore a path toward meeting ourselves where we are to give voice to all that matters! As we live with interruptions and chaos, we can deepen into the roots of our creativity, encouraging the river of expression to flow. Beginners and seasoned writers are welcome, as we explore various forms of writing: poetry, prose, short stories, memoir, among others. Through writing exercises using everyday life, place, family, images, poetry of others, while using pranayama, meditation and the guidance of the Sutras we will build a body of work. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace.
Tools we will Practice:

• The Art of Paying Attention
• Acceptance
• Play
• Writing from the Heart

Together we will combine self-care with our writing and discover what a writing practice means to us and how it may take shape.
