Wild Surf Writers
WILD Surf Writers is a curated writing community for women of color leaders to explore our innermost voice through writing. Using poetry and music as creative prompts, we will write together in timed exercises, our pens never leaving the page. We will aim to do our poorest writing possible.
Why: By putting aside needing to be perfect, and just writing down whatever comes to us in that second, we are able to cut through our layers and tap into the deepest nuggets of our truth. These nuggets are often what lead us to our best, most truthful writing. How: We’ll write together virtually with 4 to 5 women in our circle, sharing what we write with the group after each prompt. Our space is built on safety and radical acceptance. Anything you are inspired to write about in the moment is welcomed! You need not have any prior writing experience. You need not be an expert. You simply need a pen, a notebook and a willingness to write whatever is coming to you in the moment, no matter how poorly worded or expressed. I will provide us with the guidance and prompts to flow together, imperfectly as we are meant to be. 2024 Program Dates: PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR 2024 PROGRAMS |
"Your leadership and thoughtfulness have helped me expand my vision, see the softer and kinder side of us as human beings. In a world overpowered by corporate goals and gains, I've found a hiatus, an oasis from which to reflect and be vulnerable.
Thank you for sharing your personal stories with the group. I couldn't have asked for more - I came into this workshop with not much expectation, only as a way for me to release some tightness. I've gained so much more!" - Rosa Lau WILD Surf Writer |
