Creating Connection & Meaningful Activities (Kitchener)

Release Your Inner Writer
Release Your Inner Writer is for anyone who feels they are a writer, wants to be a writer, or those who want to explore writing in a comfortable and supportive setting. We’ll set the stage for you to write creatively with opportunities to share with the group, or not, whatever you’re comfortable with.

Have you ever thought: “I have an interesting story, but I don’t know how to start sharing it with people”? Have you ever thought of writing a book? Do you simply want to start journaling? Every person has a story to share, and all of them are transformational for us and sometimes for others. When we write our thoughts and ideas down, we move internal content to an external device like a notebook or a laptop. By doing this we’re able to clear our heads and uncover one layer after another.

Hosted by Kathy Nutt
Kathy Nutt is a creative who uses many media and styles to convey a glimpse into her mysterious, whimsical world. Although mainly focused on the visual arts, she dabbles in the written word and is endeavoring to cultivate a consistent practice of writing, whether it be poetry, essays, short stories, or journaling.
Kathy believes a writing practice (along with any creative practice) is a beneficial way to break through the mundane and view our worlds through fresh new eyes. We may discover a breakthrough, change a pattern, or just experience catharsis. Or we may simply arrive in a place of joy. She believes the creative process is more important than the finished product and that creativity is for everyone, not just the gifted few.

Take 20 Minutes for Yourself!

As the days grow darker, Haven offers a gentle, contemplative space just for you.

Settle in, turn off your camera, and enjoy a few quiet moments of music, poetry, and meditation — a simple way to nurture your spirit.

We’d also love to feature your poetry during Haven! If you have a short, inspirational poem (up to 20 lines), please send it to Debra@CreatingConnection.ca

We invite you to join the meditation promptly, so we can begin together in a calm, uninterrupted space.

NOTE: The RSVPs here represent only some who may attend this recurring discussion group (such as 1st timers) along with regular attending members who may not RSVP here.

AI sums it up like this, “Quotes about good intentions often highlight the gap between good intentions and actions, emphasizing that without action, intentions are meaningless”. But of course this is just one angle on things so there’s lots more to talk about.

I couldn’t find any quotes about seemingly positive actions that mask bad intentions to balance things out, but after some searching I found this expression that offers a bit more positivity…

“But remember that good intentions pave many roads. Not all of them lead to hell.” - Neal Shusterman

As long as your intentions are good, as I’m sure they are, you’re more than welcome to join us this week. And as far as I’m concerned your good intentions are enough :) Hope to see you Thursday!

LOCATION:
To accommodate our growing numbers and need for a quieter space we will be meeting in a church community hall listed below (this is not a religious gathering).

Community Hall
414 Fisher-Hallman Rd (view map)
Kitchener, ON N2M 4Y1

NOTE: The RSVPs here represent only some who may attend this recurring discussion group (such as 1st timers) along with regular attending members who may not RSVP here.

In this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment, dialogue is encouraged over debate. No particular set of beliefs (or creed) is required. Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.

See you there!
