Join us for two consecutive sessions of a decolonial writing workshop. We will write silently together, share in small groups with guided compassionate feedback, and reflect together on the process of engaging with the living world through writing.

Our workshop will include time for meditation, quiet time writing together in response to offered prompts, and sharing in small groups what we've written with guided compassionate feedback. We will then spend a week between the two sessions journaling based on our observations and interactions with the more-than-human world and come together again for sharing and a discussion of our personal and spiritual insights that arise through the writing/journaling process.

What is a decolonized writing workshop?

• We center perspectives that provide alternatives to the dominant (Western, industrialized, colonized) viewpoint of land as a resource.

• Rather than focusing on a “product”, we focus on the process of writing. 

• This space is intended for witnessing and deep listening to each other.

• While we give feedback to each other, we will not be critiquing each other.

• We build community and foster relationships by mutually sharing stories and experiences.

• We approach other participants, facilitators, and oneself with care and openness.

• We engage each other through curiosity and respect, understanding that we are all on a journey of learning and growth.

• We strive to be courageous, knowing that self exploration and relationship-building sometimes leads us into spaces of discomfort.
