Do you find yourself struggling to make your creative expression a priority?  Do your inner critic and perfectionism block you from writing as deeply as you’d like? Or writing at all?  Creativity is not a luxury. From the global pandemic to racial injustice and police brutality, we are living at a unique moment in history that has a profound effect on us as individuals and as a society. In this workshop, we will use embodied practices, including breathing, sound meditation, and movement, to quiet the inner critic, calm the nervous system, and open the creative channel. From that place, we will explore generative writing prompts and texts designed to alchemize your emotions and experiences into creative expression. You will leave this workshop more deeply connected to your own vulnerable truth in language, and connected to the others who have joined you for the journey.
