Heart Space

HEART SPACE
A co-writing gathering facilitated by Lisa Olivera
Sunday, June 16th from 10-12pm PST on Zoom
$65

Heart Space is a place to tune into your own center and write from the depth of who you are. It’s a place to notice what’s swirling within you. It’s a place to tend to your own questions in community with others. It’s a place to drop into presence, into devotion to whatever you find inside. It’s a place to clarify what wants to be expressed. It’s a place to connect to your own spirit. It’s a place to listen deeply to the parts of you asking to come forward. It’s a place to slow down and be with yourself. It’s a place to ask questions and linger in the unknown. It’s a place to honor your own expression. It's a place to practice writing. It's a place to explore and surprise yourself. It's a place to tune in. It's a place to listen to your heart space.

Heart Space is a two hour experiential co-writing gathering. The intention of Heart Space is to provide a container for self-exploration, for tending to the heart, and for leaning into a nourishing writing practice alongside others doing the same.

These are tender times we're living in. It's easy to disconnect from the heart, from the core of ourselves. I've found writing to be a potent practice that helps me stay tethered to what really matters to me, to who and how I want to be in the world. Writing can be a place of practicing truth-telling. It can be a soft landing place for our own aches, joys, and curiosities. It can be a place to try on new ways of thinking, of seeing, of being. It can be a place to continually reconnect to Self. And it can be a place we turn to practice caring for ourselves in the ways we long to, which usually allows us to extend our care outward more readily.

Our time together will start with a gentle meditation and grounding practice, followed by short teachings and guidance around connecting to the heart of who we are. The majority of our time will be spent in contemplative solo writing practice, using various writing prompts Lisa will share throughout as inspiration for reflection and for your own voice to come forward. There will be ample time at the end for shares and questions.

Included in Heart Space will be a two hour live co-writing gathering on Zoom, a recording of the gathering, a writing playlist, and a PDF guide with prompts and resources for further exploration and writing.

Notes that may be helpful:
- You do not need to consider yourself a "writer" to join this space -- all that is required is an open heart and the desire to connect to yourself by way of a writing practice. All are welcome.
- The group size will most likely be between 30-40 participants, although it varies offering to offering. Be on the lookout for more intimate offerings in the future if that's what you're called to.
- There will be no breakout groups -- we'll stay in the larger container together.
- Most of our time together will be spent writing. It's the hope that it will be a space of devotion to reflecting and staying close to yourself, alongside others. There will be time at the end for connection, sharing, and questions.
- I will likely offer this a few more times over the summer/early fall; if this date doesn't work for you, be on the lookout for future dates!
