INTRODUCTION TO SOUL WRITING
Do you ever wonder at why you are feeling so heavy? Do you ever feel like there is an answer but you just can't find it? Perhaps you need some inspiration or to hear some loving words? Maybe you need some everyday tools to help you feel better than you just did.
This workshop uses writing as a therapeutic tool for releasing stress, exploring our shadows and giving voice to emotions and feelings that have been hidden away. It is a group therapy session for finding relief and to connect and feel whole again.
Soul Writing helps release and free the inner voice and creative spirit that lives within all of us. At the same time, it is a healing tool that can help us process old trauma and current issues. We are able to explore our shadows and our depths, offering new horizons from which to look at life. Soul Writing is for everyone. For seasoned writers and beginners alike.
Soul Writing is not a traditional writing course. It does not require us to be experts in spelling and grammar. It does not require us to be poets. It does not teach the mechanics of writing but rather encourages our unique voice to emerge. It helps us to find an inner flow of thoughts and words that we previously may have thought we lacked.
It is a sharing process, conducted within a group workshop format. We begin to learn to come into heart coherence and flow state using meditation and a variety of timed writing exercises.
Many people have found the Soul Writing process to be unique, refreshing and easy to access. We are learning to ‘unthink’, ‘unplan’ and ‘undo’ the barriers that stand in the way of our writing voice, creative soul and unlimited spirit.
