A Spark of Inspiration Writing Salon
in the style of The Narrative Method
Reignite your creative spark each week and connect deeply with each other in a space free of judgment. Seasoned facilitator Elizabeth Philipose guides participants with images and prompts through spontaneous bursts of writing that are shared with the group. There is no feedback, pressure, or expectations in this process; just the space for your creative expression to be witnessed, strengthened, and affirmed.
Frequency: 3-5 Weekly Zoom meetings per month. New day this Fall: Fridays! September 4, 11, 18, 25
All sessions are from 12-12:45 CST.
Suggested Donation: $11-15 per session. Pay what you can. Drop in for dates you can attend, if you can’t attend all of them.
What is The Narrative Method?
The Narrative Method is a model of creating connection in a disconnected world. Created by Shari Foos, we are bringing TNM to Eye of the Heart to deepen connections between Eye of the Heart participants. TNM is a comprehensive program that has hosted thousands of salons over several years with great results. You can learn more about it here: www.thenarrativemethod.org/.
Guidelines:
The salons facilitate creative expression without pressure, expectations, or project goals. Feedback, judgment, approval or disapproval are not permitted. We listen and receive each other as witnesses. Participants agree to keep their cameras on, share what they wrote in each session, and stay for the whole time.
