NEW! Pot of Gold pop up writing.
This is a gift from the end of the rainbow, when it can be found of course. I plan to offer these every 2 or 3 weeks when I figure out the technology, free of charge. Starting Mid November and continuing as long as the rainbow keeps giving.
Email me at vickipinkerton@gmail.com to sign up for 15ish minutes of prompted writing, 2-3 prompts. It will feel like finding the mysterious pot of gold, a treasure to keep you going.
Fly Away Writing: Writing through Covid
November 17 to December 19
Covid seems to be causing a buzz in the frequency of my life. Luckily my routine is not affected too much. My office is in a bright corner of the basement with a big window out onto my back yard and wild garden. My work keeps me there for much of the time and the rest of my life seems to be spent trying to figure out the weather so the pup and I can hike. I have bringing the garden into the kitchen in manageable bits and putting it down for enjoyment during the winter days. It all seems to be a reflection of last fall and yet, there is that buzz. It is soft enough to ignore it for days on end but it lives in my belly and comes with tension or anxiety attached, something that if I think about, I would say I don’t have and yet behind every action, every decision, every breath, it is audible. It makes me itch, continuously glance over my shoulder and wish for peace. There are a few things that offer me rest from it. One is walking, taking in the spicy scents and the sound of the corn stalks rubbing their dry palms together in the wind. Another is meditation. It is in the sitting trying to think of nothing that the Covid noise becomes very apparent, and the third and the one I am turning to most, is writing.
It is not surprising that I have an urge to put pen to paper. It is something I have been doing in times of joy and strife since I could hold a pen. In so many ways, it is my meditation.
And I would like to invite you to write with me.
I will have two offerings as winter starts to notice us:
Wednesday November 18- December 16th , evenings from 7-9 – 5 weeks
and Thursday November 19 to December 17th, Mornings at 10-noon – 5 weeks
we will continue to explore Fly Away Writing. 2 hours of connecting through writing prompts and feedback. Free your soul from your Covid buzz by exploring your stories.
These offerings will be $85. This cost includes HST. Register by emailing vickipinkerton@gmail.com
