Unbound Writing is much more than a writing group.
In Unbound Writing we write in part as a means to escape the binds of our daily lives. We write as quickly and as poorly as possible with the pen ideally never or rarely leaving the page. What we leave behind is the inner critic and the ties that limit us- ones we might not even be aware of. What comes next is words- lots of words on the page-but what follows is release, connection, levity and often new understandings that stick with us long after class has ended.
"I believed I wanted to be a poet, but deep down, I just wanted to be a poem."
-Jaime Gil de Biedma
HOW IT WORKS
We meet in a small circle (no more than 8 women), I read a poem, and then provide some simple jump off lines for us to write off of for a set period of time-typically 10-12 minutes. The goal is to to write saying “yes” to anything and everything that comes.
Then, we witness one another and read out loud what we wrote. We don’t comment or critique, we just share. We repeat this process three times during the course of a class.
What happens through this cycle is truly transformative.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU SEEK…
a deeper connection to yourself and others
a way to mine yourself for things you didn't even know you felt or thought
a space to express yourself free of judgment
an outlet without any pressure to produce, perfect, or perform
a regular writing practice
a new way to inspire ideas and writings that could lead to more formal projects
WANT IN?
Writing circles will resume in January.
