Creative writing can be an excellent way to come into flow with your soul, heart, and mind, let them sparkle through you, and get that messages out there, that want to speak through you.
If you find yourself wanting to connect with your voice, to re-sparkle your creativity, to expand your writing skills, and experience writing as a ritually contained relational process between you and something/someone other than you, then you are right here.
Why creative writing?
Creative writing is not only good for improving our writing skills but can be also a precious healing experience, that brings us closer to ourselves, and our life force. Furthermore, if the writing process is held in a ritual manner and explores writing through the various relational ties we are embedded in, it can enhance the intentional quality of communication between us and others.
Why writing?
Storytelling is as old as humans exist. It is vital for us to give our experiences meaning. Writing is an excellent way to come in conscious touch with our ways of perceiving the world. Every one of us has a unique perspective, due to our unique embodiment. We often take for granted how we perceive and understand the world, and yet just another being has often a very different way of grasping something than we might do. Making our ideas and thoughts articulate through writing enables us to become conscious about how we see and understand things. It helps to understand the world and ourselves better. It also helps with us becoming more aware of where specifically we stand in our life at that given moment and can be sought out as an orientation tool.
Ideas are flexible
When we have a better understanding of where we stand and what narratives we give to the world, we grasp the flexible character of thoughts and ideas. We can mend our ways of assigning meaning and stories to the world. We thus become freer in choosing the stories we want to create.
Writing is relational
Self-awareness is a helpful ally of creative writing, but we can go even further and make it a relational experience, and explore the relational ties in that we are embedded in. If it is with other humans or other-than-humans, such as plants, trees, animals, and spirits. It can enhance the awareness of the diverse ways in which those relationships may express themselves, and thus enhance our communication skills in overall.
Inspiration is relational
When we talk about tuning in to our creative force, we talk about letting us become inspired. And vice versa. Inspiration does not only generate in ourselves, inspiration is all around us. I believe, that any kind of creative expression is a co-creational process with other beings. Be it the tree outside your window, the fresh air breezing in, your grandmother whispering old words into your ear, the cat sharing her meowy point of view, or a friend singing in the kitchen. When we create, we co-create.
Bringing the sense of co-creation conscious into our creative writing process is not only a fun alternative exercise for writing but can also be of healing significance in our relational experience of communication with beings that are not necessarily only human.
Creative writing can be vulnerable
Creative writing is super fun, but it is also a vulnerable process and can bring up soft spots. It is important to give those tender places space. The sessions are thoughtful of the vulnerability of the creative process and make space for healing, so your creativity can flourish. The sessions are designed to care-take for the sweetness and tenderness of your voice, to rekindle your connection with your creative force, and to bring the relational aspect of communication forth.
