SHARING

Release, Heal, Transform, Repeat is an enlightening workshop that offers a unique opportunity for participants to delve into the transformative power of poetry while learning more about the process of writing “Arms, Legs, Hips and Thighs”, a book of poetry that reflects on one’s healing and personal growth.

Brittini will take participants through a guided meditation infused with reiki that brings attention to the energy stored in your body and ultimately calms the nervous system. Then, participants will reflect on their meditative experience with writing prompts that dive into the mind, body and soul. After reflection, participants will engage in a writing activity that correlates to the main energy points in the body.

Towards the end of this workshop participants will feel grounded within their own person power by uncovering parts of themselves that needed attention. In addition, they will have gained another skill for grounding and expression through poetry and maybe motivation to write their own book!

The session also incorporates spiritual hygiene practices, shadow work, and the benefits of Reiki to support holistic well-being and foster profound personal transformation.
