Workshop: Embodied Writing with Maya Khamala (December edition!)All are welcome! Limited spots.
~Writing, breathwork, meditation & optional sharing circle~
Writing happens in the body. The more you engage your senses, the stronger your language. Whatever emotions you spill onto the page are deeply rooted—at the cellular level.
Get out of your head and into your body so you can write with vital presence. Doing so has the potential to be a deeply empowering and healing act. If you've never done breathwork or meditated before, it really doesn't matter. If you're not a writer, that's ok too. This workshop is for writers wanting to enhance or expand their practice, non-writers interested in exploring their potential, and anyone who feels called to navigate the relationship between body and language.
Our practice will interweave:
-Discussion
-Kundalini breathwork
-Stretches
-Creative writing prompts/exercises
-A Kundalini meditation
-An optional sharing circle
-Chai & a sweet snack
What to bring: your journal, a pen, & an open mind. Pens & paper will also be available.
About the facilitator:
Maya Khamala is a lifelong writer of many stripes. From poetry to grassroots journalism to creative nonfiction, word is her bond. She has also collaborated with visual artists at a loss for words, and has worked as a freelance copywriter and editor for close to a decade. She has a shiny little MA in Creative Writing to list among her credentials, and is an emerging novelist to boot. Maya has an extensive background in feminist, anti-racist and climate justice movements—work that has deeply informed the way she wields words. Aside from being a writer, she is also a Kundalini Yoga teacher in training who recently completed her teaching hours and is now offering regular classes in Montreal. She got into Kundalini as a way of healing from trauma and its many lifelong manifestations in her body, as well as to counteract being a writer who sometimes forgets to step away from the keyboard...and just breathe.
Cost: $75
