☉ WRITING DOJOS
“Writing is medicine. It is an appropriate antidote to injury. It is an appropriate companion for any difficult change.”
—Julia Cameron, “The Artist’s Way”
Writing is a process of Poiēsis toward wholeness.
Poiēsis (verb): to make, to create.
In creation, we bring something into existence. Expression becomes the bridge connecting us to our nature and to our world.
Through us, the unknown becomes known. What was previously non-existent takes form through our writing and speaking, creating new possibility for healing and birth.
We sit, clearing space for the mystery.
We write, allowing life to unfold and reveal itself before us.
We speak, breathing life into our words.
We witness, feeling the resonance of our truths.
Let us gather in the
