Today’s world is not an easy place: intern­al ten­sions, rela­tion­al dis­cord, and col­lect­ive upheavals can some­times leave us feel­ing breath­less. This work­shop explores how writ­ing and breath­ing can help us nav­ig­ate these dif­fi­cult times without deny­ing them, while re-learn­ing to recog­nize what sus­tains us. No writ­ing exper­i­ence is neces­sary. Through writ­ing exer­cises punc­tu­ated by breath­ing and somat­ic explor­a­tions, we will name our chal­lenges, listen to our res­ist­ance, digest what can­not be changed, and then cul­tiv­ate our resources and anti­dotes: resi­li­ence, won­der, memor­ies of bright moments, and a cour­ageous look toward the future. An invit­a­tion to find clar­ity in chaos, to breathe with pres­ence, and to put into words what we are going through.
