TruthSoup
Creative Process Circle (in person)
Sunday afternoons 1-3 pm
The Moon Remembers Studio in Eugene, Oregon
$15-25 sliding scale
This low-stakes, open-ended creative process time is offered in a facilitated community setting. All materials are provided. Accessible and open-ended themes, inquiries, and portal-prompts will be offered to serve as jumping-off points. Participants will be guided in ways that help to open to exploration, experimentation, process, and expression rather than focusing on trying to achieve a particular outcome or end product.
Through facilitated discussion, and gentle community guidelines, participants will be given the opportunity to share (or not share) their processes as they feel called to without judgement or feedback from others. We’ll talk about what comes up for us as we create, and how the prompts and themes resonate with us with an attitude of curiosity and embracing the mystery and creative process.
The Untamed Page
Process Writing Circle (in person)
Monday evenings 6:30-8:30 pm
The Moon Remembers Studio
$15-25 sliding scale
Writing practice with three poetry-prompted 10-minute writes. Read aloud, no feedback, simply witness and be witnessed. This practice is a great way to “crack open” the writing mind. It’s a way to set yourself free from the inner critic; to get to know yourself better as a writer, and as a human being. It feels good — even when it feels kinda bad.
When we do this practice in a group, we become a community, a circle, witnesses to each other. When we do this practice together we agree to witness each others’ stories and processes without feedback while honoring each others’ story, autonomy, and dignity.
What’s shared here stays here, what’s learned here leaves here. We agree to take care of ourselves using our self-care practices, support systems, and trusting our inner knowing.
