Writing to Exhale: Releasing Your Words Onto the Page
Join a group of brave women who sit side-by-side and write the unvarnished truth about our lives.
In this creative workshop, you’ll practice listening to your intuition (vs. your inner critic) and letting your words flow out of you. If you’re not a “writer,” you’ll fit right in. We’re going to write as poorly as possible. The good stuff comes out when we’re not trying too hard to be perfect.
Then we share our writing out loud, as-is. Sharing might feel scary, but…something therapeutic and beautiful and maybe even magical happens in these writing circles. They open a secret passageway to the deepest parts of the soul. By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more connected to yourself and the other women in the room.
How it works: I’ll read you a delicious poem and offer some prompts. You’ll write on whatever arises–from the time your toddler stuffed graham crackers into your shoes to meandering thoughts about your newest life transition. Then we all share. No apologies or critiques. We do this 3 times. (This process is based on Laurie Wagner’s Wild Writing.)
So let’s drink hot tea (included!), take a deep breath, and let our stories surprise us.

Meet your instructor Erinn:
Erinn is a college writing instructor who has been teaching in the Kansas City area for over 15 years. She facilitates therapeutic writing, retreat writing, and creative writing workshops. She’s also a certified personal trainer (just for fun).
Erinn believes people feel better when they let their words out, so she loves creating the conditions for those words to flow freely onto the page. She brings a relaxed, write-as-you-are vibe to her workshops and classes.
She enjoys solo travel, lay-flat journals, kayaking, balsamic glaze on anything, the smell of new tennis balls, and lingering in the poetry section of bookstores.
