Second Section Just Added! Life is filled with stress and challenges. We all have our stuff, and our stuff is as varied and individual as we are. Personal and reflective writing is a deeply effective and clinically proven tool for meeting yourself where you’re at and navigating your path. Checking in with yourself and writing whatever comes is a practice in mindfulness and a form of meditation. We will work with prompts and guided exercises that exceed standard journaling practices, but don’t go as deep into neuroscience as our Intuitive Writing courses do. We will borrow a few exercises from IW along the way, but an Intuitive Writing class is NOT a prerequisite. We will meet in December when "me time" is often scarce, but most needed. Open to all writing levels, whether first timers or experienced sages. Exercise prompts and formats are continually rotated and added to, so that you can repeat this course on an ongoing basis. To learn more about this class and meet your instructor, visit constellations-writing.com.
