Teas and Tales

​May Tea: Jasmine (Make your own blend or buy tea bags ready made) 

​Teas and Tales is a shared writing session, that I hope will feel like an exhale into art. I wanted to create a cozy, welcoming space where we can rest into words and create stories together.

​The idea is that we take a moment to brew a specific tea before the session to accompany us in our writing. 🌱 🍵🍃 The essence of the tea will guide the session.

​As we meet, I will ground us with a short visualization, connecting us to the writing space and to our tea. I will follow this by reading a short poem (related to our tea or to the times) and then we will dive into some generative writing with short prompts. There will be space for a few people to share what they have written so that we can spend time in each other’s words (optional of course). Then I will close the session by reading a short story as we finish off our teas.

​I hope you will leave feeling nourished by words, by the company of other writers and by the soothing tea.
