“We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.” — Audre Lorde
What do you really want to say—and who are you when you say it? So many of us write to be understood, to be seen, to feel whole. But often, the hardest part is knowing what we want to express in the first place—and trusting that our voice is truly our own.
This generative, somatic writing workshop is about learning to write from the body: the place where truth lives, even when language falters. You don’t need any experience with somatics to join us. We’ll use simple movement, body-based awareness practices, and trauma-informed group reflection to explore desire, resistance, and what it means to say yes—in life and on the page.
