About the event

Embodied Writing - Deep Red Fall Edition
~Writing, breathwork, meditation & optional sharing circle~


Deep Red Fall Edition

Writing stirs first in the body. The more you let your senses unfurl, the more vivid and alive your language becomes. Each word you release has lived in you already—etched into your muscles, your breath, your bones.

So often we contort ourselves into stiff, dislocated shapes to summon language. Yet the body is our oldest keeper of truth, carrying both our wounds and our wildness. What shifts when we loosen instead—when we let the spine curve, the hips sway, the breath deepen? What words break open in the space where trauma is met with tenderness, where movement tips toward dance, where surrender becomes possible?

This season, we lean into the deep red fall: into descent, shadow, ripeness, and the sensual weight of presence. To write from here is to risk being altered, to risk being undone, to risk being set aflame. Our flesh and blood holds stories that ache to be broken open, scrawled aloud. Birthing them into words can be grounding, freeing, and profoundly healing.

Whether you come as a seasoned writer, a beginner, or simply someone longing to abandon yourself to the pulse that carries you, this workshop opens the door to the charged and intimate meeting ground of body and language.


Our practice will interweave:

-Kundalini breathwork
-Stretches & light movement
-Creative writing prompts & exercises
-Meditation
-An optional sharing & discussion circle
-Homemade chai & a sweet treat


What to bring:

Your journal, a pen, comfy clothes & an open mind.


What to know:

Pens & paper will be available, as will yoga mats/blocks/blankets/bolsters if needed. Seating options will include: chairs, mats, back jacks, etc. There will be space to move around and shift positions as needed.

About the facilitator:

Maya Khamala is a lifelong writer of many stripes. From poetry to grassroots journalism to creative nonfiction, word is her bond. She has collaborated with visual artists at a loss for words, and has worked as a freelance copywriter and editor for the last decade. She has a shiny little MA in Creative Writing to list among her credentials, and is an emerging novelist to boot. Maya has an extensive background in feminist, anti-racist, climate justice and Indigenous solidarity movements—work that has deeply informed the way she wields words. Aside from being a writer, she is also a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Embodied Writing facilitator offering regular Montreal classes and workshops in Montreal. She got into Kundalini as a way of healing from childhood trauma and its many lifelong manifestations in her body, as well as to counteract being a writer who sometimes forgets to step away from the keyboard…and just breathe.

-All are welcome! Limited spots.
-Space is up a staircase, on 2nd floor.
-Workshop is in English; French versions of writing prompts available upon request.
