Following the Creative Breath, is an immersive, in-person, two-part series in creative embodied practice through somatic writing. Over each 5-week session, we’ll combine gentle movement and breath exercises with writing prompts and (optional) sharing in a small-group setting to tend to your creativity, your voice, and your inner unfolding.
In Session I: Exhalation, we practice embodied writing in the key of deep winter. Here we invite somatic writing practices that support going inward, rest, and tending the inner sanctum. We listen for the richness inside dynamic stillness.
In Session II: Inhalation, we play in the subtle energetics of earliest spring, listening for the nascent movement that comes from readiness, resource, and authenticity. What does unfurling look like when it’s expressed from inner trust and organic ignition?
