Flow Writing Sessions in Newquay

Flow is a series of creative writing sessions where writing itself becomes the destination. Through timed exercises, writing by hand, and intuitive facilitation, you’ll build focus, momentum, and allow yourself to simply write. Think of your writing as a wild forest where words, ideas, images, and stories can grow before being shaped and edited.

Each month, we gather for a one-hour session, aimed to support a sustainable writing practice, one that embraces your whole life and invites you into a flow state.

There’s optional sharing, using the group’s attention to energize your work without pressure as this is not a feedback workshop. You’ll also be invited to exercise your intuition.

Facilitated by writer Julia Albertoni through Alma Studio and inspired by the “flow state” concept by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

What to expect?

• Generative, unfinished, first-draft writing
• A space that supports your authentic author voice
• Play as process, with a touch of magic through exercises using oracles and Tarot cards
• A deeper sense of what “flow” means for you
• A merging of action and awareness
• A welcoming and supportive group environment
• Simple warm-ups you can use for any writing project

Who is this for?

Anyone looking to reconnect with writing, whether you’re just starting out, returning after a break, or already writing regularly. No prior experience needed.

What to bring?

A notebook, a pen, and curiosity.

When?

Where?

We'll meet at Alma Art Space in Newquay.
