About the Develop a Writing Ritual Classes
Develop a creative writing ritual and start to integrate it into your life in a way that is both sustainable and nourishing. You’ll start the term by choosing a writing goal, and then over the course of the program you’ll begin to move through buried blocks to your creativity and create work that is meaningful to you.
“Creativity lies not in the done, but the doing” – Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way
Think of these sessions as your weekly play date with your creative self. Each session, will include a Breathexperience™ practice to help you to approach the blank page with focus and a connection to your body, a series of prompts inspired by the Artist’s Way (different theme each week), and 40 minutes of uninterrupted space to:
- lay on your floor and write poetry,
- get carried away on the adventure you’re writing about in your novel,
- sit with your journal and reflect on your experience of the world and of yourself,
- engage with whatever form of creativity is aching for expression, within you.
We’ll end each class with a guided conversation and opportunity to reflect on your experience. Importantly, you’ll be moving through this course with a community of creative individuals who are also interested in prioritizing their creativity and moving through what has been holding them back.
“Ritual clears the fog of self-doubt” says Twyla Tharp in her book ‘The Creative Habit’. And that’s what I hope this space will do for you.

Testimonials:
“I have been working steadily for the past year with Christine on a novel that I’ve been writing. It’s been important for me to have the focus and space to write and the weekly sessions have been great. Christine has been patient and thoughtful and welcoming in my journey as a writer. I still have a long way to go, but I am so grateful that she has been alongside me for this journey.”
