This free, introductory Creative Momentum workshop is designed to connect you back to your writing practice in a way that is both immediately nourishing as well as sustainable. You know you have a book (or two, or more!) in you but your writing has felt blocked, stalled, sporadic, or perpetually on hold. At Creative Momentum, our approach is to befriend blocks through ritual, community, somatic practices, and reflection to get to the heart of your creative energy and honor the different ways in which it is trying to break through.

If you only write when you feel inspired, yet you have a big vision, then you know the frustrating gap between your current habits and the regular care, watering, and feeding your manuscript needs in order to grow into reality. This workshop supports you to develop consistent intrinsic motivation for showing up to your writing, along with a creative process skillset for successfully utilizing that motivation to craft a meaningful story. If you love to write but struggle to get what's inside onto the page, if you have many beginnings or ideas but no finished product, or if you're feeling stressed or joyless in the middle of your big writing project, please join us!

This supportive workshop is for you if your writing is:

• Going in circles

• Scattered, overwhelming, or stuck

• A chore rather than a joy

• Pushed aside when life gets busy or stressful

• Inconsistent, pressured, or draining

• Shut down by your inner critic, perfectionism, self-doubt or self-sabotage

• Longing to go deeper, but you're not sure how to do so in a way that is emotionally healthy and safe

This workshop supports you to create a writing practice that is:

• Confident and intuitive

• Consistent, authentic, and inspired

• Full of joy, self-compassion, and trust in the process

• Attuned to seasons and spirals of creative energy, both personally and collectively 

A nourishing writing practice helps you:

• Reduce procrastination and maintain creative flow

• Take pleasure in the creative process

• Create your most resonant writing

• Feel motivated without relying on the stress of deadlines

• Finish your writing projects

• Make an impact through your writing

Your writing practice can be more consistent and productive—AND more enjoyable, healing, and affirming! Sign up today to take the first nourishing step.
