If you've often arrived at the end of Autumn and felt it passed you by, and whatever unfolded during those darkening days feels like a blur, this generative writing session will help you reclaim and affirm what actually happened, where you were, and how it felt.

Often we need a process to support us as we transition from one thing to the next, and this process is one that I've found both easy and joyful to return to as the heat waves subside and the leaves begin to turn.

The workshop will begin with a brief explanation of a form (Zuihitsu) that provides a space to remember and record. Then we'll write for the better part of an hour, using creative prompts and exercises designed to bring forth what is within you. The workshop will conclude with an opportunity to share and receive encouragement.

No experience with the zuihitsu form required — just a willingness to notice what the last few months have brought you. You'll leave with at least one piece of writing that is both an archive of moments and a poem — and the felt sense of having honored the season through this simple ritual.
