Front Range Poetry & Creative Writing Community

Special writing event! Space is limited.

Do you create differently in Nature? Does the smell of dirt, roots and Spring buds bring something alive within?

WHERE: Stanley Lake Park (Simms & 86th)
WHO: Writers of all levels, any form of writing
WHAT: We will walk (2-4 miles), talk, discussing nature, emotions, and creative writing (there are some great spots near the water)
WHY: It's often needed to get out of our normal rhythms in our overwhelmed lives. This will be a time without phones, allowing for our minds, bodies, and feet to guide us into creativity

You will need something to write with (journal or phone work fine), a water bottle, probably sun block, and a desire to move into your body and flow into your emotions!!

Collaboration is at the heart of our every gathering I lead! You will have the chance to connect and exchange ideas with like-minded individuals passionate about the power of movement within our bodies and the power of words.

ART OF SENSUALITY: SEXY SENSES

In 2025 I offered the first Art of Sensuality class and it was a hit! Where do we got to discuss sensuality and sexuality, and how it fits into our writing lives? What do we truly desire? DO WE ACTUALLY DESIRE?

I've discovered the SENSUAL is a way of living. This energy permeates into our experiences in relationships, in love, beauty, and into our spirituality.

In this second class we will continue our exploration of sexuality, sensuality, and the erotic. WHY DO WE HAVE THESE SENSES THAT BRING US TO THE SEXY? These four gatherings will give us the opportunity to practice our innuendo, flirting, and making our creative writing more complete.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
What does it feel like to hold a plant or run our hands through top soil?
What happens when your favorite dessert hits your lips or drizzles down your throat?
What does it feel like to have a a ice cube melted down your back on a 90 degree day?
What about a first kiss and their tongue finds yours?
