Embodied Writing – Wellspring Edition
The wellspring is that which precedes effort: the body before interpretation, breath before direction, knowing before language takes shape. It is not made; it is met.
Writing begins here, where what has been gathering beneath the surface starts to rise—no longer hidden, not fully formed, but already moving through us like the ecstasy of sunlight in our veins.
This workshop invites you to write, attuning to the source beneath thought, and letting language surge through the body as it takes its rightful place in the world.
Our practice will interweave:
- Kundalini breathwork
- Stretches & light movement
- Creative writing prompts & exercises
- Meditation
- An optional sharing & discussion circle
- Homemade chai & a sweet treat

Your journal, a pen, comfy clothes, and a willing heart.

About the facilitator:
Maya Khamala is a lifelong writer of many stripes. From poetry to grassroots journalism to creative nonfiction, word is her bond. She has collaborated with visual artists, and worked as a freelance copywriter and editor. She has a shiny little MA in Creative Writing to list among her credentials, and is an emerging novelist. 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.
All are welcome. Limited spots.
