The other day on a social media video and post, I wrote, “Dear January, Please stop. XO, Kel.” 😂😂😂
I don’t know about you, but there’ve been a some big transitions for me lately. Good, but big. Which all take time and effort to process.
Writing is one of my favorite ways to process through life. If you can relate, processing emotions, facts, thoughts, and feelings through writing might feel like the next step. There’s nothing like the power of a witness for overcoming trauma and grief.
What To Expect Each Writing Day
I facilitate each writing day with the goal of making this the safest and most comfortable group setting to write what you need to write without judgment or criticism. Years of leading and participating in groups like these have helped me create the following structure:
- First, we will build a safe community with a set of ground rules that we all create.
- Second, I will lead a grounding exercise.
- Third, I will provide a few prompts to get us started. We will write for a specific amount of time.
- Fourth, we’ll take a short break, with snacks.
- Fifth, we’ll read our work. When each writer is done reading, we are allowed to respond with what resonated for us as witnesses to the story. No criticism of form or content allowed.
- Last, we will do a brief grounding exercise and be on our way.
