Wild Writing on the Untamed Page
Join Mikalina Kirkpatrick at the Hybrid Gallery on Monday evenings this fall for community-oriented, facilitated writing practice on the Untamed Page.
We’ll do three short (ten minute) prompted writes, keeping our hands moving the entire time, letting go of the idea of getting it right and getting curious about what’s actually here.
Allowing ourselves to write “the worst shit in the world” to make space for the truth that’s ready to come forward. What’s waiting to be said, discovered, remembered, revealed within us.
After we write we will each read out loud. …one by one, listening to each other without commentary or feedback, just presence and witness. We offer gratitude hands 🙏🏻or sparkle fingers 🙌🏻 when each writer is finished reading and we’re off to the next writer.
Three short prompted writes and read-alouds over the two hours of our time together. That’s it. That’s the practice. Wanna experience what happens when a bunch of folks get together and do this?
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.
