COMMUNITY EVENTS
Weekly Wednesday Co-Working
Western Hemisphere: 9-11 am PST |12-2 pm EST | 6-8 pm CET
Eastern Hemisphere: 9-11 am CET |12-2 pm DXB | 3-5 pm BKK
I’ve benefited so much from co-working with friends, both virtually and in real life. It’s an amazing space for conversation, collaboration or just silent co-working.
I decided to recreate this magic for my community, and will be holding space on Wednesdays for people to gather. Video and audio are optional.
I’m hosting two sessions for both hemispheres, and I hope you’ll join me.
Sunday Writing Parties
Western Hemisphere: 9-10 am PST |12-1 pm EST | 6-7 pm CET
Eastern Hemisphere: 9-10 am CET |12-1 pm DXB | 3-4 pm BKK
I know how challenging it is to stay motivated and find inspiration with your writing, so I created a monthly writing party that will allow you to reflect, set intentions and pick up a few unique writing exercises to catalyze your process.
Reflection exercises to set intentions for the month, embodied exercises rooted in somatics available for every bodily capacity, and prompts to catalyze your writing.
All in 60 minutes.
First Sunday of the month.
