About this Event

More Than Writing — A Sacred Circle for Your Stories

This isn't your typical writing workshop. We begin not with prompts or critique, but with breath. With nervous system balancing exercises that invite your body into a state of creative flow. Here, we practice the art of unshaming our stories and telling them with pride.

In this sacred circle, all levels of writers and every genre are welcomed. Whether you're crafting poetry, memoir, fiction, or simply exploring what wants to emerge, you belong here. We create nervous system harmony through breathwork and meditation, then step into creative resilience through the courage of authentic expression.



What Awaits You

Nervous System Balancing | We begin with breathwork and meditation to regulate your nervous system and access creative flow

Sacred Writing Time | 20-30 minutes of writing with a gentle prompt (or free writing if you prefer) from a place of inner calm

Circle of Deep Listening | Share your work in a critique-free space where stories are received with honor and reverence

Creative Resilience | Learn to unshame your stories and tell them with courage, supported by a community that celebrates authenticity



For Writers Ready to Tell Their Stories with Pride

All levels welcome | From first-time writers to seasoned storytellers, every voice has value in our circle

Every genre honored | Poetry, memoir, fiction, creative nonfiction, whatever wants to emerge through you

This salon is for souls who understand that writing is medicine, that our stories deserve to be told without shame, and that creativity flourishes in spaces of deep listening and nervous system safety. Through the practice of receiving each other's words without critique, we give the gift of courage, to ourselves and to one another.

Come as you are — bring your stories, your silence, your curiosity, and a pen and paper or your favorite journal. In this gentle space of nervous system harmony and creative resilience, discover what wants to be written when you’re held in sacred witness.

Light refreshments included

Space is limited to ensure intimate connection
