Los Angeles Unlocking Your Creative Inner Voice
Sun, Nov 8, 9:00 PMI am hosting a gathering for our community to explore the idea of unlocking your creative inner voice. Whether you have been feeling stuck in your current practice, are looking to start something new, or simply want to find a more authentic way to express yourself, this session is meant to be a quiet, supportive space to explore those ideas together. We will spend our time sharing experiences and looking at the common hurdles that keep us from creating with confidence. This event is for anyone who feels a pull toward creativity but has had trouble finding the right outlet or the right mindset to get started. You do not need to be a professional artist or have a specific project in mind to join us; it is truly for anyone interested in the process of self-expression. We will keep the conversation grounded and practical, focusing on how to quiet the self-doubt that often gets in the way. If you have been thinking about carving out some space for your own creativity, I would love to have you join the group. Please take a moment to RSVP if you think you can make it so I can get a sense of how many people to expect.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

SCHEDULE: 7:00 - Quick introductions. 7:10 - Timer starts. Write for 1 hour. 8:10 - Chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 8:10PM. Writing can be very solitary.
