You will need a pen or pencil and some paper or a journal for writing. Some of you may prefer electronic journaling on your computer.

On class days, use your Zoom link to access the virtual space (the Zoom link will be provided the day before the session starts).

Each 4-day session is a live, virtual experience. Sessions are also recorded for those who want to participate but can't attend live on any of the four days. Recordings will only be available for the 4-day period and participants can choose at what point during their day to engage in the writing practice for that day.

The class time is fully dedicated to writing. We will use the first few minutes to say hello to one another, then we write for twenty minutes (I will set a timer), and then we use the last five minutes to say our good-byes and transition back into our day. We do not share our writing or read aloud. The writing is for you! We come together to engage in a writing practice and to notice what happens when we give ourselves space to process the swirl of thoughts and emotions moving around, and sometimes getting stuck, in our brains and bodies.

For those wanting to "check-in" between writing sessions, you can access our online community and/or join us each Saturday for Pilgrimage Inside, our online weekly meditation community...it's FREE! Additionally, the online community offers you a space to reflect within a supportive community on how the regular practice of expressive writing is impacting your health and well-being. 

You might also choose to deepen or expand your writing experience by scheduling a coaching session with Stacy in between monthly writing sessions. Contact Stacy for availability and pricing.
