Break Open the Box: A Writing Workshop for the Soul

Break Open the Box: A Writing Workshop for the Soul

Courtney Stevens Potter once said, “You have to write the story only you can tell.” She wasn’t setting an expectation—she was giving us permission. Permission to explore, to unravel, to connect with ourselves and one another through the deeply personal lens of our own experiences.

We are disconnected humans, craving connection, confined by the invisible boxes we build around ourselves. We scroll, we skim, we exist in a world of curated moments—yet at our core, we are nothing more than words.

What if you gave yourself the space to break open the box? To peer inside?

What do you see? Does it terrify you? Excite you? Both?

Good. That means you're human.

This workshop is designed to give you the space, time, and permission to explore your story without expectation. Surrounded by soft candlelight and gentle background music, we’ll create an atmosphere of comfort, creativity, and connection—one that allows you to put pen to paper without judgment or pressure.

Led by Jennifer Pavone, a writer, poet, and certified writing instructor with over 20 years of experience, this gathering is an opportunity to engage in self-exploration through words. As a Registered Yoga Teacher (500) and the owner of Sonnet Yoga, Jennifer understands the importance of mind-body connection and brings a thoughtful, reflective approach to the creative process.
