Let’s stir the creative cauldron in pace with full-bodied, bewitching breaths.
Let’s adorn a cherished jacket and embark into the lengthening of shadows of twilight with a well-nourished nervous system as our guide.
Let’s illuminate the mysticism and the mystery of the season with the light of our embodied presence.
In this Body Writes, we’re alchemizing the wisdom of autumn to … cultivate steadiness and ease in change, conjure clarity, and create from an embodied, nourished connection to our own magical instincts.
We’ll be taking a cue from the stories that have bewitched and beguiled us mortals for ages.
I’ve spent the last month roaming the graveyard haunts that inspired JK Rowling’s globally loved “Harry Potter” series, wandering through English fields with Frankenstein’s creatrice, Mary Shelley on my musing mind, and strolling through the gardens and woods of Stratford-Upon-Avon, the hometown of Shakespeare, the playwright of that infamous and utterly witchy Scottish play.
Rooting into the pulse of these ethereal places and storied landscapes has brought their past, phantom teachings into the present. So we’ll be lightheartedly exploring their works and the shadowy inspiration behind their artistic achievements to gather and glean insights that can assist us in staying grounded and crisply present to the beckoning calls of our own creativity.
Infused with somatic and meditative practices to nurture the wellbeing of the body, and therefore rejuvenate the creative spirit, this Body Writes session brews with soulful writing prompts that can be utilized for a creative writing project and/or deeper and brighter self-understanding. Come ready to be enchanted by the allure of autumn and open-hearted to the alchemy that happens when we bring our awareness into the splendor of the present.
