Brave Letter Writing Workshop (May 19th)
This 1 ½ hour live and in-person workshop is on Sunday, May 19th from 10-11:30am. Let’s bring some ritual and sacredness to card writing! We will begin with a short meditation, listen to poetry, and offer jump-off lines. People will be invited to read withOUT expectation of sharing; it is just an invitation if you would like to be held and witnessed. There is *No Commenting* on what is written by the writer or the listener.
DATE: Sunday, May 19th
TIME: 10-11:30am
LOCATION: TBD
COST: Free! After the workshop, we would love to send you a short and simple survey to get your honest feedback and testimonial if you feel so moved.
**Included in this registration is one collection from the Fully Live Life collections.
THE DETAILS:
Do you have letters that you write a million times in your head but never put to paper? Do you sit down to write and need help figuring out how or where to start?
Join us for a supported letter-writing workshop to get the pen to paper and express something from your heart and soul. We will use poetry as the prompt to provide that first line.
Are you intimidated to start? What might come up once you sit down to write? All of you is welcome here - in this supported environment, you will be encouraged to write one word and then the next, with no expectations on what you will write or whether or not you will even send it!
Letters are treasures. This class is an opportunity to see what happens when you sit down to write a letter. Whether it is a letter to yourself (past, present, or future), an ancestor (alive or passed), a cherished friend, your beloved pet, or something else entirely, there are words in you yearning to be written.
We will write up to three letters in this class. Afraid you won't write it right? The first letter will be on the "imperfects" card stock, fondly addressed to Dear Perfectionism. That should get the ballpoint pen rolling!
