Sit or lie down for a session of energy flow. Then write (or create in any way you wish) based on your Reiki experience. Open to all, including first-time Reiki recipients and first-time creators. Simply listening is also an option. Bring your own pens, paper, and other tools of craft as well as a towel or a yoga mat to get comfortable on the floor (not necessary if on a chair).

Join WWBA and me...it’s time for the creatives to head into the wilderness! (As in marked trails in a park where bathrooms are nearby). Grab your hiking/walking gear and your writing/drawing instruments for a fun as-long-as-you-wish meet up.

We will read some of Whitman's nature poetry to get inspired and do some creating. Then we'll hike up to the top of the hill where we will find even more Whitman inspiration to write about (or draw or dance). Then we'll come on back for a final round of creating or sharing.

Bring a lunch to stay longer if you want to picnic afterwards.

Note: I am scared of bugs and bears, so if you’re unsure about heading out into nature, if I’m ok with it, you probably will be, too.

We are reading Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser.
