WRITING FROM THE BODY

Reconnect with imagination and creativity and discover stories held in the body.

We will practice mindfulness to descend into the body and write from a deep and connected place. Through enticing prompts and visual imagery we will discover new doorways into imagination and memory. These techniques enable us to break through creative blocks, bypass the inner critic and connect with wisdom held in the subconscious.

Suitable for fiction or memoir. Beginners welcome. Each session ends with an opportunity to share your writing or thoughts in a supportive small group. (7 participants max.)
