I would love to have you join a 4-week small group class starting this week!
Registration is still open for my next round of the online small group Grief Writing for Women series. If you're interested, this is the perfect time to join us.
You do not need prior writing experience or consider yourself a writer to join. All you need is an open, willing heart and mind; the words will do the rest!
If you've been curious about what it would be like to be in a small, devoted group of women who write together weekly, please consider registering for one of the series.
Grief Writing is a relaxed, flow-like writing practice in which we use poetry as writing prompts and write for 15 minutes to overcome the perfectionist in us and the part of our mind that likes to do things well.
We start Thursday, and I would love to see you there!
If you have a question about the series, please visit the website or email me at dvarellasyoga@gmail.com.
Grief Writing for Women
Date: February 15 – March 7, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. PST
Details and registration for the series are here.
Our grief doesn't have to be in the here and now. It just needs a safe space to feel and have room to move and breathe.
Through this unhurried, present place, we practice being brave with our voice without fear, editing, shaming, or perfecting.
Together, we will become more conscious and creative and lean into our intuition, awakening to radical self-acceptance and the details of our lives.
Together, we will listen, write, and welcome our emotions and life with more grace, trust, and curiosity.
Whether you come to this series or not, thank you for being part of my community.
If you know a woman who may enjoy my small group writing series, please consider sharing this email. Your support and shares are appreciated.

In case you missed it or for new subscribers, here are two articles I wrote on the importance of creating a grief container and why we write; enjoy!
I also LOVE this post by Maggie Smith, in which she gives the tiniest pep talk on that little voice in our heads that says we’re not good enough, that no one will care what we have to say, or that our ideas and stories are not very interesting.
