The Monthly Pause:

A Writing Community with James Crews and Friends

Each month, we will explore what it means to take time out of our busy lives and meet the sacred pause that waits whenever we slow down and create community. I'll feature a new guest each month and discuss writing as a healing practice of self-compassion, a way to access the most authentic parts of ourselves. Then we'll all write together, using prompts to go in our own directions.

A Sacred Pause

This is a safe and inclusive space that’s free of the pressures to produce or publish, where we can embrace play and experimentation as our main intentions. 

No matter what you write or how often, this offering can be a nourishing infusion of inspiration to fuel your creative practice.

Tap into the power of writing together in community with the shared purpose of a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Our Monthly Meetings: 2-hour live monthly Zoom writing sessions, every 2nd Wednesday from 10am-12pm PT / 1-3pm ET

Additional Benefits include:

Praise from James’ Students

This has been maybe one of the best experiences around my writing and my soul and my life that I have experienced. What a gift.
This series has opened up so many doors and links...into writing, into seeing, and into being in the world.
If you only knew how much the time we spend together here means to me as a poet. I am made better after each session. I have learned so much from you both. With thanks and admiration to you.
