A 60-MINUTE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP WITH SHELLEY KARPATY

Creative Soul Revival

THURSDAY, JULY 2ND AT NOON ET

Creative Soul Revival is a taste of what a free-writing practice can do, and it might just change the way you write.

Here's how it works. You set a timer for 15 minutes, put your pen to the page, and write at full speed without stopping. No editing, no backspacing, no going back to fix that one clunky sentence. When you write this fast, the inner critic never gets a chance to lean over your shoulder and tell you what's good or bad. There's only you and the words, moving one after another.

That's where the magic happens. The block that's been keeping you stuck starts to loosen. The pressure to get it right falls away. And somewhere in those 15 minutes, you remember the thing that made you fall in love with writing in the first place.

This is writing as play, as release, as a way back to your own intuition. One word at a time, you find the voice that's been waiting underneath all the noise.

SIGN UP

Here's what you'll leave with:

Creativity and connection in an uninhibited no-stress container that will leave you feeling revitalized in your writing. You may even have a paragraph or two that will start you on a new writing project that you never realized was in you. Or you may transmute a memory that was buried to find new healing. A safe space within a trusting atmosphere that supports you with no judgments or critiques. 

 

Meet your instructor

Shelley Karpaty

Shelley Karpaty is a writer, mindfulness teacher, and the voice behind Spicy Soul Mama Substack. She's spent the last several years writing her way through the kind of unraveling that changes everything. Her memoir-in-progress, The Sacred Unraveling: Reclaiming Motherhood and the Truth of Who You Are, weaves personal story, ancient wisdom, and the voices of other mothers into a reckoning with who we become when the life we built no longer fits.

A certified Vipassana meditation teacher in the lineage of Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, an Enneagram coach, and a longtime student of Ram Dass, Shelley brings the same depth to her workshops that she brings to the page by creating space where women can stop performing their stories and start telling the true ones.

Her writing has appeared in The Sun, Mad in America, Business Insider, Elephant Journal, and LA Yoga, and she is a 2025 Dairy Hollow Writer-in-Residence Fellow. She lives and teaches in the Coachella Valley desert, where she's learned that darkness isn't the absence of the sacred, it's often exactly where it lives.

The Pause:

A creative community for midlife women

The Pause is a creative community for midlife women who feel something shifting and want a place to reconnect with their creative spark. You might be rethinking your work, your relationships, your writing, or even who you are in this season. You might be in the process of outgrowing old systems that aren't working anymore, or shedding a skin.  

Here, you will find women who are thoughtful, curious, and willing to connect on a deep level. Women who are building new things. Women who are letting go of old things. Women who are simply trying to listen to their own voices again and to figure out what stories they really want to tell. If you are craving connection, inspiration, and steady forward movement in a supportive community, you are welcome here.
