A healing writing workshop for Black women exploring poetry as protest, prayer, liberation, and collective affirmation.

This 60‑minute workshop invites Black women into a sacred space where poetry becomes both protest and prayer — a place to name loss, honour rage, and write toward healing and liberation.

We begin with grounding breathwork and two poems: one that speaks to protest and ancestral grief, and another that calls in hope, connection, and spiritual grounding. Through guided writing prompts, you’ll explore your emotional truth without censorship, moving from what hurts to what heals.

The session closes with a collective spoken blessing — a chorus of single lines from each participant’s “prayer” poem, rising together in unity and strength.

You’ll experience:

• A safe, affirming space to express grief, anger, hope, and joy

• Writing prompts that honour both personal and ancestral stories

• Poetry as a tool for spiritual activism and emotional release

• Optional sharing and a powerful closing ritual

• A collective moment of Black women’s voices rising together

This workshop is for Black women seeking a space to write, release, and reconnect with themselves and each other.

A therapeutic journaling workshop to honour grief, express what’s unsaid, and begin releasing emotional weight through writing.

Letters to Our Losses is a tender, reflective writing workshop that creates space to acknowledge grief in all its forms — the loss of people, relationships, identities, seasons of life, or versions of ourselves.

Through grounding breathwork, a reflective passage on loss, and guided writing prompts, you’ll be supported in writing a letter to your loss: speaking the words you’ve held, honouring what once was, and gently exploring what release might look like.

The session closes with a short blessing or closing line to your loss, followed by a collective breath to honour what has been expressed.

You’ll experience:

• A compassionate, judgment‑free space to explore grief

• Writing prompts that help access emotions often left unspoken

• Permission to hold complexity — anger, longing, guilt, gratitude

• A ritual of release, remembrance, and emotional grounding

• A sense of lightness and clarity as you move forward
