Write Here. Write Now.
A facilitated workshop for groups
Unplug. Take a breath. Pick up a pen. Just write.
A writing shift for teams
In this group session, Lorraine invites participants to explore for themselves ways to get started. Whether you choose post-it notes, mind maps, poetry or long winded narratives, this session invites you to meet your pen where your heart is. This workshop is a quick-start and introduction to the various ways people choose to write. Morning pages. Evening gratitudes. Micro-journals. Quick lists and writing like nobody is watching. There are no rules here, other than to unplug, listen to your inside voices and write your way to refreshed mindset.
This 2 hour session is meant to get the juices flowing, minds shifting and group energy levels calming. For those participants looking for more, Gratitude Trifecta is your next step.
