Writing as a Restorative Practice (Part One: Practice to Presence Series)

This is part one of From Practice to Presence, a three-part series. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to develop an inspired, restorative, and sustainable creative life by connecting to your inner landscape—your values, interests, gifts, and challenges—and translating those insights into habits, themes, and projects that support your authentic need for expression. Together, we’ll shift the focus from output to intention, creating a practice measured not by what it produces, but by how it feels. Through four guided exercises, you’ll learn how to channel your creative energy into the themes and habits that support you most and that fit naturally into your life.

You can RSVP to join us here.

The Practice: Group Journaling Session #24: Return and Rewrite

This is a new iteration of our guided practice sessions where we revisit old journal entries and use them as springboards for new writing. By reflecting on past words, we will uncover how our perspective has shifted, what wisdom remains, and where new meaning wants to emerge. These sessions will help you see your growth and reclaim your story in fresh, powerful ways. I’ll provide prompts to guide your rewriting, though you’re always welcome to approach the practice in your own way. We’ll close with optional sharing and group reflection. This month, this journaling session will take the place of the Tuesday accountability/cowriting session that usually takes place during this time. You can register here.
