introducing a *NEW* FW24 writing group
this workshop's theme: freedom
My friends,
It’s a short one today. We’re not in drama centralé - and honestly, thank goodness for that. Sometimes we need peace, sometimes we need quiet. Sometimes we need to collect our thoughts, before moving on to the next destination life has planned for us.
It’s a new season, and I’m really excited to be starting a new writer’s group. In the past, my groups have really been focussed around love and loss and letting go. But I want to do something different this time around. I really want to focus on concepts that move us in the direction of a new chapter. And I think a big part of that is celebrating where we are in the present, and knowing that everything we need, and everything we have - is within us.
So, the overarching topic for our five sessions together will be: freedom. We’ll explore prompts that dive into forgiveness (forgiveness = setting yourself free), trust (looking and highlighting areas in our life where we trusted ourselves, not everyone around us), time (what does time well spent look like to you), imagination, and so much more.
I feel like, over the past few years, there’s been a collective undoing. What made someone a “successful human” in the past - is completely being re-examined. Or, at least, I’m re-examining this lol. And to be honest, my past romantic relationships are really making me reflect on and realize this. Is money, status, following what our parents did, and what we “know” - really going to allow us to lead the lives we want to lead?
Or do we all just want to be free?
Details:
When is it? Every 2nd Sunday, starting:
October 20th - December 15th
12 PM EST (for my North American friends) + 6 PM Italy - France - Europe time lol. We meet for about 1.5 hours :)
Where is it? Virtual. It’s cute because it’s something you can follow along with as you have your morning coffee (if you’re in Canada/America) or with aperitivo.
Cost? $150 CAD
How is the group structured? I cap each group at around 4-5 - I want it to be a really intimate group where everyone feels comfortable sharing, and it also allows everyone to get to know and connect with other writers too :)
Prompts+letters/lessons are sent out about a week and a half before, and the length of each piece that you write is completely up to you.
If you’re interested in joining / have any other questions - DM me here. I’ll be sharing examples from our previous groups on my IG stories all week :)
Xo,
Emily
