***
We're all haunted somehow. Maybe it's the deafening hush of something you've never dared speak out loud. Or a story you've carried for too long like an invisible weight on the heart. Or a sensation that returns, again and again, asking to be witnessed. The body holds all the answers we've been looking for, even if we have yet to formulate the right questions.
Haunting is that quiet (or not-so-quiet) persistence that lurks beneath the surface—unfinished, unrequited, unresolved. To unhaunt is not to dismiss or erase, but rather, to befriend our full selves, ghosts and all, gifting language to that which lurks in the darkest corners of our dreams.
This workshop invites you into a safe and sacred space. We will write from rather than about the body, allowing what stirs our depths to blossom onto the page. Allowing breath, movement, and sensation to lead the way, we will enter the shadows with great tenderness, witnessing ourselves in our truest, most creative form.
Our practice will interweave:
-Kundalini breathwork
-Stretches & light movement
-Creative writing prompts & exercises
-Meditation
-An optional sharing & discussion circle
-Homemade chai & a sweet treat
You will leave with:
-Written breathwork, meditation & movement instructions designed to help you return to the body as a source of language
What to bring:
Your journal, a pen, comfy clothes, and a willing heart.
What to know:
Pens & paper will be available. Seating options will include chairs, mats, and back jacks. There will be space to move, shift, and settle as needed.
Accessibility:
- The space is on the 4th floor. There are a few steps leading up into the lobby where there is an elevator accessible.
- If money is a barrier to your attendance, let's discuss.
- Cet atelier se déroule en anglais, mais notez que vous pouvez participer dans la langue de votre choix, et que les propositions d’écriture sont toutes disponibles en français — n’hésitez pas à en faire la demande. S’il y a suffisamment d’intérêt, j’offrirai une version en français à l’avenir.
About the facilitator:
Maya Khamala is a lifelong writer. From poetry to grassroots journalism to creative nonfiction, word is her bond. She has collaborated with visual artists, worked as a freelance copywriter and editor, and she has a shiny little MA in Creative Writing to list among her credentials. Her first novel is in its finalization stage. 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. 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.
