Front Range Poetry & Creative Writing Community

SECOND SATURDAY CREATIVE WRITING GATHERING!

Join us for an inspiring two hours of poetry, creative writing, and self-exploration at the Front Range Poetry/Creative Writing Gathering. This is your opportunity to connect with fellow writers, immerse yourself in mindful conversations, and cultivate your confidence and self-esteem in a supportive community.

COURAGE is a main theme, discussed in every gathering, and we hope you will join us to "practice" this important part of growth as a writer!

We have a diverse core group of "regulars" that participate monthly and in the other writing group offerings I facilitate. New writers are always welcome. Feel free to come check us out!

Collaboration is at the heart of our gathering, and you'll have the chance to connect and exchange ideas with like-minded individuals passionate about the power of words. Engage in honest discussions on the intersection of creativity, and living within this current world.

*We will be writing so bring your favorite tools to write

ART OF TOUCH
Why is it that we tend to touch, and be touched, less as we age? Where does understanding this sense, and our senses better, fit into our creative writing and growth as a human?

Lisa Galterio, LMT, and Founder of Terranetic Massage and Wellness, and Rick Ellsmore will lead a time of feeling more at home within our bodies and more aligned in our lives. This will help in moving our senses into our emotions through the power of words and writing.
Lisa supports values-driven individuals, especially entrepreneurs and parents, in moving beyond burnout and into sustainable, connected ways of living. With a background in outdoor leadership, Lisa spent years guiding teens through backpacking, rafting, and climbing expeditions, teaching communication, resilience, and self-trust in real-world environments. That foundation continues to shape her work today, where she blends therapeutic massage with emotional well-being practices. She helps clients understand their emotions as useful signals rather than problems to fix. Her approach is grounded, practical, and deeply human, working with the body, the nervous system, and the emotional landscape as an integrated whole.

The research is clear--the more we are in intimate relationships, and touched, the longer we will live, and the more fulfilling lives we will have.
What holds us back with this specific sensory experience? How can understanding our emotions, and practicing being touched, offer understanding and a pathway towards the person we desire to be?

Join us for a hands-on (literally as touch will be incorporated into the morning) sensory driven writing experience!
