Writing Trauma & the Body
Healing Our Bodymind Through Writing
Sunday, November 17th from 12-3pm PST via Zoom
Trauma and pain are experiences that can feel impossible to capture in words. Trauma lives in our bodies and in our emotional and somatic memory, thus making it hard to access through verbal language. When asked to describe our pain, we’re confronted with an unwieldy task where language fails us: is this sensation pinching or stinging, sharp or dull? Add to these challenges the fact that our survival has depended upon our ability to dissociate from mental, emotional and physical pain. Writing, then, feels like the most impossible task.
How, then, can we use writing as a tool for healing our bodyminds? In this workshop, participants will move through different embodiment practices and writing prompts, with the hopes of being able to access our stories in a way that is supportive for our nervous system. Over the span of three hours, you’ll be given the opportunity to produce new writing that emerges from being in the body.
*Please select either the LIVE or the RECORDING ONLY option. As space is limited, please make sure you chose RECORDING ONLY if you know you won’t be able to attend live. Everyone who registers will receive the recording within 1 week after the live session.
Workshop Cost: $85 with sliding scale options
I believe that this workshop is well worth the $85, and I also strive to make my offerings accessible for everyone, regardless of income. I've created sliding scale discount codes with the hopes that those who can contribute more will do so, thus balancing the scales for the free/low-cost spots for those who need them.
$0 for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. 50 spots available for the live session; unlimited for the recording. Discount code: LEVEL1LIVE (to attend live) or LEVEL1REC (for the recording only).
$25. For those who’re low income, no savings, have minimal expendable income each month, and couldn't otherwise afford to attend without this option. 50 spots available for the live session; unlimited for the recording. Discount code: LEVEL2LIVE (to attend live) or LEVEL1REC (for the recording only).
$45 or $65. For those who’re lower to mid-income, with some money in savings and/or financial support from family; expendable income each month. Discount code: LEVEL3 (for $45) or LEVEL4 (for $65).
$85. For those who’re mid- to high-income/stably employed, with a savings account and financial safety net; can afford to take vacations and make other large purchases with relative ease.
*No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please contact us for a discounted rate if the $25 tier isn’t accessible or is sold out and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
