about our monthly practice group

We find that journaling starting from an empty page, even with a writing prompt, can be intimidating. We start with rich language in on an existing page of text and notice what draws our attention.

Our monthly blackout poetry group includes quick instructions on how to curate a poem, intention, or meaningful message from an existing page of text. We provide photos of pages from pieces of fiction and non-fiction. We practice and discuss what we find on the page and in our hearts and minds. No experience is necessary. Sharing is optional. This group tends to be a blend of first-timers, writers who use this as a warm-up exercise, and seekers who find some inspiration. All are welcome.
