Creative Writing Workshop

Creative Writing – La nuit

Where writing opens the door to dialogue and meaning. As autumn sets in, we enter a time of year when darkness gradually takes over the light, and nights stretch longer across the day.

How do we relate to the night and its darkness? How do we hold space for endings, for what is hidden, for what remains unseen in the public eye or what society attempts to erase—those moments when collective life retreats from the light? Are you a summer person who longs all year for endless warm evenings? Do you view the fading light as the cue for the party to begin, or as the sign that it’s coming to an end? What does the night make possible for you?

This 90-minute creative writing workshop is an invitation to pause and explore your relationship with the dark. Is the night a source of fuel that expands your sense of space, or a moment where anxiety begins to rise? Do screens swallow up your nighttime hours? Through writing, we will gently unpack these questions. We will begin with a short grounding meditation to settle into our bodies and the present moment.

Guided by a series of prompts, we will explore how darkness and nighttime impact your imagination, creative power, time, and energy. We will end with an optional sharing circle, followed by a final meditation to gently integrate the experience. No writing experience needed just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
