Together, we’ll dig deep, run wild on the page and share.

Writing is a potent, accessible way to explore who we are. Through writing we can howl onto blank pages, deepen dialogue with our bodies, play with our imaginations, and build intimacy with the natural world. When we write regularly, beyond enclosures of self-doubt or social conditioning, we can see — even for a moment — into our vast interior landscapes and explore our inner wild.

We will begin each class with a grounding meditation and move into readings, writing prompts and discussion. You’ll be asked to write from where the energy is. Some writing may therapeutic, just for you, while other pieces may evolve into work you’d like to read and share with our community.

Stay engaged between classes with suggested practices, readings, and writing exercises.

The creative process may ask us to wander in the woods, create personal space, and endure boredom or emotional discomfort before we break through. Thus, your ‘homework’ (in addition to carving out time and space to create) may include mindful walks in the woods or a nearby park, interviewing a loved one, handwriting a letter, or starting a new movement practice. Suggested exercises are designed to inspire your writing, bring intention into each day and nourish your animal body. Your creative source.

We’ll meet live on Zoom for 5 gatherings
Starting April 6th, 2-4pm
