Using the Polyvagal System to promote creativity
 
This will be an experiential workshop.

Bring a pen and paper as we will be writing.

We will enjoy nature and quiet of the park as we explore:

*Understanding how our nervous system allows for or shuts down creativity
*Activities to tone the polyvagal system which we will pair with writing exercises
*Tools you can take home to use.

Maureen is a mental health therapist and poet.
Her book was written using these techniques.

Welcome, Pacific Northwest Writers! 

We meet every last Wednesday from September to June in scenic Bellingham, WA. Supper starts at 5:30, and the speaker starts at 7:00.  

The 2021-2022 year Dues are suspended. Dues are 25 dollars a year or 40 for two years. We use the dues to pay for our speakers to come from around the region, and for an occasional table at local writer events. Our dues year runs from September to June, like our meetings, but will roll over if you pay late in the cycle. If you want to try us out first, feel free. Speakers in the past have included authors Cami Ostman and Robert Dugoni, and agent Donald Maass, covering topics such as social media, self-publishing, memoirs, mixed media, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. It is our goal to offer something for everyone, no matter your place in the writing journey-- just starting or long-published. Old school or new. If you have an idea for a speaker or topic, let us know, but if it has been covered recently it might not be picked up.
