A 90-MINUTE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP WITH JESSE BALL

Cultivating Creative Flow: The Power of Ritual

FRIDAY, APRIL 17TH AT NOON ET

 

As we all know, one of the hardest parts of writing is being consistent with our practice. Devoting ourselves to a daily writing practice can feel easy and wonderful when we are in the flow, but when that flow is elusive or we are bogged down by life, and grappling with the part of us that is a bottomless pit of excuses, it can be tough. Developing a ritual can help.
Ritual has been a natural and reliable part of the creative process for successful writers, artists, musicians, problem solvers and high achievers through out history. More than just a routine, a personal ritual is intentionally curated and implemented based on a person's own individual lifestyle, affinities, inspirations and beliefs that when used consistently, offer a dependable way to illicit the shift in focus and mindset necessary to do our creative work, at anytime, in any place, regardless of external circumstances or unhelpful thought pattens. Building a personal and empowering ritual into your writing practice will usher in the right conditions for flow to emerge as it taps into and harnesses the mindset and feeling tone that we relate to doing our own best work.

In this 90 minute workshop, we will explore what ritual is (and what it doesn't have to be), how it differs from routine, and why it works. Through a combination of solo exercises, experiential examples and group discussion, participants will become familiar with which elements, channels of perception and types of inspiration speak most personally to them and leave with a plan to continue building and implementing their own personal ritual, as a step towards consistently invoking the creative flow needed to do the work.

The Pause:

A creative community for midlife women

The Pause is a creative community for midlife women who feel something shifting and want space to explore what comes next. It is a place to write, reflect, connect, and create alongside other thoughtful, engaged women who are asking bigger questions about this season of life. There is room here for honesty, reinvention, and the kind of conversations that do not always happen in everyday spaces. We prioritize our craft along with ourselves, nurturing our intuition and wellness alongside our writing practice. If you are craving depth, momentum, and real connection, you belong here.
