Arrive at 9:45am to get settled. We begin at 10 am with warm-ups. These will be emailed to all registered participants (we’ll also have print outs) for your self-guided session. Bring a timing device — your phone works fine.
This is followed by ~ 35 minutes of your own individual writing.
At 11am there will be time for reflection and sharing. Sharing is always optional, and we never use critique or feedback unless explicitly requested. It could be something that emerged during the session — a piece of writing, an idea, a hurdle, an insight, or it could be something that is going on in your writing life or a piece you are looking for reflection on. You can also choose to stay head down into your writing, or get on with your day.
By connecting with each other as writers we allow for a bigger magic to bring us along. Seeds of inspiration, connection and courage fall into the cauldron of the in-between time, to sprout new and wondrous things and curious artifacts. Then we meet again and continue to weave the great web of the world.
Join one, join all!
Registration will remain open until 9am the day of. We'll have a Venus sign on our table so you can find us. Once you find us, choose a seat at the shared table or your own. You will need to purchase your own beverage. Capped at 6 people in-person, unlimited online.
Note: We've chosen cafés that usually have plenty of seats at 10am. If we're ever a table short, we'll find a way together.
You can also take part in this offering from home! Register to receive the warm-up pdf at 9:55am. No video, just you and your devotion to the page, knowing that you are buoyed from afar by your Venus sisters.
Warmly and fiercely,
Almina Hodek
