SUMMARY:Centering the Womb: Pain\, grief\, ourselves
DESCRIPTION:A virtual writing workshop exploring the womb space and somatic storytelling layered within our bodies. \nTaking the why out of the equation\, this workshop centers how people with wombs relate to the chronic\, physical\, and mental pain as well as the joy we can embody. Through sitting with the grief\, the pleasure\, the delight\, the playfulness\, the worry\, the social constructs experienced within the womb through gentle somatic meditations and writing prompts\, we can access new ways of understanding ourselves\, our gifts\, our inheritances\, and our love. \nWho: This workshop is for people with a womb who are seeking a compassionate space to honor its hurts and hopes. You may have many reasons for wanting to speak to or through your womb\, but likely there is a desire to seek a renewed\, deepened\, or more tender relationship with this space of creation and cycles; you may have a hope to integrate experiential wisdom or compost old stories into a reclaimed sense of power and purpose. Together we can tune in. While this space will certainly influence our writing\, it is not a space to gather research for character or plot development. \nHow: This space is intentionally created to make space for slowness to wonder and explore. While operating within the confines of timeframes\, we value earthtime and non-linearity\, meaning this is not a space to provide medical or results-driven advice\, but to downshift into experiencing the current moment of the body\, how it is/as it is. While this space may feel therapeutic for some\, it is not a substitute for therapy. We encourage all to show up as you are and to push no further than your capacity\, as we will send a follow-up with writing prompts to the community after the workshop concludes. \nFree workshop\, RSVP required!
