Creative Expressions Retreats:
Poetry & Mindful Movement

These retreats are for poets & creative thinkers to come together in community gatherings rooted in kindness & with the purpose of celebrating poetry, craft, & life. On these retreats, we sit in a circle and discuss poems, we write based on open-ended prompts, we walk & hike & write in nature, we practice wiggly creative movement & yoga to explore ways to support our poems as they gestate within & emerge into the world. We practice writing-in-action; every moment, every breath, every step, is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with all the poems already alive within & around us, waiting to spill out onto the page.
