Presenting
The Grit and the Pearl
A 6-month Somatic Writing Journey with Amy Jones
Dive deep into the underbelly of your writing.
Through movement, meditation, breathwork, sound and song, your writing journey will visit the places that have long been forgotten in your body and soul.
These are the stories to be told.
We begin with an opening retreat near the sea in Kennebunk, Maine. We will gather, write, and ritual together, visiting the places that have long been forgotten in Body, Spirit and Heart.
After our in-person retreat, our journey continues with five monthly online weekend retreats (December-April) and periodic group check-ins.
At our in-person retreat we will create our Sacred Texts, a book to carry all of the writing we do for the following five months. These books can be passed on for generations to come, to share the wisdom of the stories we have told.
Come journey and explore the depths of your writer’s untapped tales. The stories that are hidden at the bottom of a well, found in the attic of the corners of your mind, or perhaps even in a cave of ancient time~ a memory that still sits in your bones.

Imagine… Create… Liberate…

When we share our stories we open the gateways that lead to healing. We write our stories to weave a universal tale that may be passed on for generations to come.
This will be deep work. Your stories are sacred and so are you. Be prepared to change the way you approach your writing and your muse.
This is an experience not to be missed.
