Let The Giant Speak (a non-writing writing space)
Details
What are you not saying? Not to your partner, not to your friends—not even to yourself. Every guy's got something he keeps almost bringing up, then leaving unsaid.
This isn't a writing group. The writing is just the excuse—a way past the version of you that's gotten really good at managing what people see by managing what you say. You'll never once call yourself a writer here, and it won't matter, because the writing was never the point. It's what's between the lines that is: your voice.
Here's how it works:
Each week starts with a short practice to get you out of your head and into your gut. No overthinking, no performing, just instinct. Then you write. Then you read it out loud. Not for feedback, not for critique b/c that's not what this is for.
I'll ask a few questions, more curious than corrective: What did you mean by that? What had that matter? What are you taking from what you wrote?
Keep showing up and patterns start surfacing: the thing you keep almost saying, the thread you keep pulling without noticing.
Every 8 weeks, we stop and look at all of it together, and ask what your voice has been trying to tell you the whole time. Can you say it out loud?
Capped at 8 guys, so it stays a room, not an audience.
Free. Weekly. Hollywood/West Hollywood (exact spot confirmed closer to the date).
If this is landing right now, don't sit on it. RSVP. That's exactly the pattern this room exists to interrupt.
Hosted by Joshua Koenig, ontological coach, personal trainer, creative director and founder of The Giant in the Room.
