SUMMARY:Workshop: Embodied Writing with Maya Khamala 
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 7th\, 2-5pmStudio 414\, 10 Des Pins West #414All are welcome! Limited spots.\n\n\n\nBook here: linktr.ee/heartfire.kundalini \n\n\n\nWriting\, breathwork\, meditation & optional sharing circle \n\n\n\nWriting happens in the body. The more you engage your senses\, the stronger your language. Whatever emotions you spill onto the page are deeply rooted—at the cellular level. \n\n\n\nGet out of your head and into your body so you can write with vital presence. Doing so has the potential to be a deeply empowering and healing act. If you’ve never done breathwork or meditated before\, it really doesn’t matter. If you’re not a writer\, that’s ok too. This workshop is for writers wanting to enhance or expand their practice\, non-writers interested in exploring their potential\, and anyone who feels called to navigate the relationship between body and language. \n\n\n\nOur practice will interweave: \n\n\n\n\nDiscussion\n\n\n\nKundalini breathwork\n\n\n\nStretches\n\n\n\nCreative writing prompts/exercises\n\n\n\nA Kundalini meditation\n\n\n\nAn optional sharing circle\n\n\n\nChai & a sweet snack\n\n\n\n\nWhat to bring: your journal\, a pen\, & an open mind. Pens & paper will also be available. \n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator\n\n\n\nMaya Khamala is a lifelong writer of many stripes. From poetry to grassroots journalism to creative nonfiction\, word is her bond. She has also collaborated with visual artists at a loss for words\, and has worked as a freelance copywriter and editor for close to a decade. She has a shiny little MA in Creative Writing to list among her credentials\, and is an emerging novelist to boot. Maya has an extensive background in feminist\, anti-racist and climate justice movements—work that has deeply informed the way she wields words. Aside from being a writer\, she is also a Kundalini Yoga teacher in training. She got into Kundalini as a way of healing from 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 take a breath. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook now
