in creativity, fun, writing class
On 10/21 I will road trip to Rhode Island to see my daughter, then head over to Block Island for another writing retreat with John Terlazzo. I met John back in July, at Starseed Sanctuary in Mass. A whole new life has opened to me. I am looking forward to writing by the sea and being in the bubble of creativity that is created when John holds a retreat. The following are poems from retreats with John.
Grief
SO I am doing just fine!
Really!
My brain sends words across my heavy tongue
through parched lips
It was meant to be.
Oh it was a wonderful experience!
It was for the best.
I go about my daily life
smiling a frozen smile
sleeping too much
sipping a bit of wine
numb
Tears locked safely away
(there are so many)
and just when I think it is safe
I see the raspberries
and remember.
My heart collides
with this stone mind
shattering
exploding
and tears swallow me
again
again
again
9/10
Daisies clustered
a cracked vase
water oozes
Energy spirals
parts the clouds with gentle thunder
kisses the sun
Blind the stars
caress the moon
no limits

This past Sunday ten of us (yes there were really ten of us) got together for another writing group. We laughed and shared and found out a little more about ourselves and each other. It is just magical to sit in a circle of friends and feel the muse dance. Following is some feedback.
“My creativity billowed like a yellow chiffon curtain in a soft, warm breeze.”-Amy
“Gina’s approach is warm and fun loving. She creates and environment where it is comfortable to share and explore. Mistakes do not exist and discoveries were plentiful.”-Rachael
“Through playful exercises I was able to access the creative wild woman within. I don’t consider myself a writer, but Gina created a safe and open space where I could access my heart. The workshop was nourishing for my soul. I can’t wait for the next one!”-Barbara Ann
“Gina gifts us with a bubbling cauldron of creativity where each of us get to stir the pot, producing untold magic.”-Nancy
