Join us for a community writing experience with a small, devoted group to luxuriate in the gift of slowing down, listening, and self-expression. The writing circle will meet for 90 minutes once a week for 3 consecutive weeks to write and read aloud to one another. This is community work with writing.

In Rhythm Writing is an intuitive writing practice using poetry as writing prompts to inspire full self-expression. We write three times each session in short, timed segments saying yes to our creative unconscious. We write fast and loosely to outpace the perfectionist parts of our brain. We don’t give feedback. We don’t pay attention to craft, grammar, or spelling. We create and share intuitive writing expressed through instinct and creative flow. This practice not only assists in accessing real and true stories about our lives but also influences how we move through the world. Laurie Wagner, with whom I study, has inspired my journey in facilitating this style of writing.

All are welcome ~ artists, writers, healers, caretakers, searchers, and others who desire self-expression, to discover authentic voice, and/or to connect with inner magic.

Limited enrollment of 7 participants for this 3-week session that meets once a week for 90 minutes.
