In this workshop, you will learn and use Centered Writing Practice, a body-centered freewriting technique employing neutral prompts. This distinctly feminine approach to the creative process opens the way for you to release your conception of what writing “should” be in order to allow the body’s wisdom to guide your pen. In the safety of our writing circle, you will be invited to share your writing and receive gentle responses from Peggy and/or group members. At the end of 4 weeks, you will have a notebook of your in-class writing and a technique for the continued support of your writing journey.
