We’re going to Wild Write together. It’s a way to connect our wild voices + our wild lives, diving deep and writing together.
Wild Writing is a timed writing process that we use to tell our stories to uncover the themes we want to write about.
Using poetry to move us into our writing, we write three times in one session, writing as fast as we can, pen never leaving the page. By writing quickly we are able to push past our inner critic and our ego and all the ways we stay trapped in looking good. This gives us a chance to move into a less self-conscious, loose groove where, if we’re lucky we may stumble into the fertile imagination that lingers within us, conjuring up stories and memories that are waiting to be written.
After we write we read our work aloud. We don’t critique, we just listen. We do this several times within the session. This technique, while very therapeutic, is also a wonderful way to jumpstart any good writing project because it helps you get to the chewy nougat of what you are trying to say.

In our three hours together, I’ll begin by warming the waters of Wild Writing, reminding you how we drop the facade, take a deeper breath, let our bellies hang and remember what the poet, Leonard Cohen said when he asked, “What is our need? To be close to the natural man, to be close to the natural woman.”
Wild Writing is a chance to return to your natural voice, your home voice, the sound of you relaxed and open. It’s a chance to break free from the critical voice so you can connect more deeply to what is sweet and curious, messy and true inside of you.
In our time together, we will write three times, moving into break-out rooms to read in small groups, and then emerging to write again.
The time will fly. You will leave with three pieces, and a chance to fall back into yourself for a few hours in the midst of this busy life.
IMPORTANT: We won’t be recording this, though if you can’t stay for all three hours, you’ll certainly get a few pieces of writing in.
