Immerse yourself in a unique poetry/journaling workshop that blends mindfulness, meditation and creative expression. Rooted in the principles of Buddhist practice, this session invites you to slow down, center yourself and connect more deeply with your inner voice. Through guided meditations, reflective prompts, and intentional writing exercises, you’ll explore how presence and awareness can inspire powerful, wholehearted writing.
This workshop is for writers of all levels, whether you’re new to poetry or have been writing for years. We’ll practice using breath and stillness as tools to unblock creativity, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the present moment. You’ll learn how to craft poems that are authentic, while embracing vulnerability and self-compassion.
We’ll also explore how mindfulness can help quiet self-doubt and overcome creative blocks, allowing your words to flow freely. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with fresh work, a renewed sense of clarity, and tools for integrating mindfulness into your creative practice.
Bring a notebook or journal, an open heart, and a willingness to explore the intersection of creativity and presence. Let’s go deep within and discover the poetry that already lives inside you.
