Unlock the Creative Within through Writing and Yoga

After the holiday season, it’s time to return inward to focus on your inner artist. Whether you are just beginning your creative journey or returning, this workshop utilizes approachable yoga, meditation, and writing modalities to unlock the creative within. 

Using humor, levity, and mindfulness, you are invited to affirm your inner artist, recognize your creative blocks, and understand the creative process. We will disconnect from our devices and default-world lives to immerse ourselves in the open air of Esalen. You are invited to move your body, find your breath, observe your mind, and fill pages with your words – guided to relinquish fear and live fully in your creativity. 

This workshop will include: 

• Journaling and creative writing
• Pathways to finding and writing your story
• Hatha-inspired yoga movement and restorative yoga 
• Yoga Nidra and awareness meditations 
• A playful and supportive community to cultivate your inner artist

As educators, storytellers, and human do-ers, Darnell and Cara truly believe in growth and happiness. They invite you to lean into the symbiotic relationship between storytelling and movement and the magic that happens when they come together. This workshop intends to foster an environment that will encourage you to confidently call yourself an artist and have the opportunity to cultivate techniques and rituals that will fuel your creativity and give you the audacity to integrate it all into your daily lives.
