Wild Writing will give you the opportunity to drop perfection, drop labels, and drop in to the places inside of you wanting your time and attention.
Once a week we will meet for 90 minutes from the comfort of your own home.
All you need is some paper, pens, and a willingness to listen to poetry, to yourself, and to the other amazing people who will be joining us.
Wild Writing is for anyone. No writing experience is needed. It is a listening practice, a curiosity space, and a container to hold all that it means to be human.
The group is limited to 7 people and the cost is $80-
More info if you want to keep reading:
The practice of Wild Writing (created by Laurie Wagner) allows the part of us that longs to be held, listened to, seen, and loved, to come forward and be embraced.
This practice invites us to take time and give space to the parts of us that are desperate to come out, to get our attention, to slow down to the speed of the moment that is arriving in front of us.
Wild Writing gives us a wonderful container to hold all the parts of us. It connects us to our inner world through the simple tools of pen and paper. It connects us to our subconscious through the simple practice of listening, saying yes to what we hear as we write. It connects us to the truth that will set us free as we invite presence over perfection.
The Meet me at the Lake Space:
The meet me at the lake space is a tender space where I welcome all of you as I welcome all of myself. I’ll meet you when you feel fantastic, showing off a new haircut, or celebrating the win of the week. I will meet you when you have just rolled out of bed, couldn’t even bother to brush your teeth, or are lucky to have just made it – almost on time. I would love to hold up a mirror to your boundless brilliance, as we marvel at the you who has made it this far – who is getting up, getting moving, or getting back in bed after class.
Each session:
Each time we meet we will start with something to warm up our bodies, minds, and the creative subconscious. This will vary every session. Some possibilities: breathing practices, story slices, guided visualizations, and more!
I will read a poem while you listen, eyes closed (or not!) and allow whatever bubbles up to the surface to be witnessed.
I will offer jump off lines or prompts. I will read the poem again. We will write for 10- 15 min. pen never leaving the paper. We will be invited over and over again to: say yes to what is coming, write without worry of grammar or punctuation, without thought of making sense or making something mean anything. We will hold space for ourselves and one another as we listen to each person read out loud. We will thank one another and then we will REPEAT two more times.
Simple. Profound. A time to slow down. A space to listen. A way to turn off to tune in. xo
