Do you want to start your year by giving yourself some space to WRITE and do this in community?
Come join us for our first WILD WRITE WEDNESDAYS 4-week writing in community of 2021!
WILD WRITE WEDNESDAYS have been popular since we started in April 2020- we wrote through lockdown and been writing ever since.
Facilitated by author and coach Eva Weaver, WILD WRITE WEDNESDAYS have been described as 'powerfully potent and focused, yet so simple.'
'A powerful writer’s cocoon ...' ''a strong sense of community'...Write your heart out, put pen to paper and see what happens.
Ponder, scribble, compose… Pick up the shelved idea, give yourself breathing space, or make space for that novel idea that has been niggling you for a while.
Whatever your desire is in term of writing, I invite you to join me and a group of fellow scribblers for a weekly online writing meetup: WILD WRITE WEDNESDAYS!
You do not need to see yourself as a writer to join. You can write whatever you like in these sessions. Here are some examples of things that participants have worked on in Wild Write groups:
* free-writing/stream of consciousness writing, morning pages
* chapters for a novel
* poetry
* website content
* editing of stories
* testimonials
* difficult, long overdue emails
* letters (letter to myself, letter to my headache’,letter to a future self) thank you letters
* essays
* plays
* short stories
* course and job applications
* outline and structure of a novel
* reviews
* transcription of interviews,
* translation of tango lyrics
* content for a public talk.
This is a group space where we will actually get some writing done- in community and companionship.
We will meet on Zoom at a regular time for four weeks, with a structure that looks roughly like this:
Bring a drink and whatever you need to write and to be comfortable and join me on Zoom.
We will briefly check in to say what we are writing on, or planning to write or hoping to, then we'll dive right in and with no further ado get to some writing.
I’ll set the timer and we'll write for 30 min, then take a little break to briefly check in on how it is going for everybody, and then go in for another writing stint of 45 or 50 min .
We’ll finish with a check out and wrap up.
There will be no sharing, feedback or critiquing of the content of our writing, BUT a lot of actual writing gets done this way as we are all holding each other in a concentrated, kind field.
My experience has been that this kind of writing in community totally works! I’ve been writing with colleagues, friends and fellow writers in this way for over eight years, always with the beautiful DEEP WRITING principles developed by my coach Eric Maisel.
This way of writing in community has always been very nourishing for me and has supported me through some tough times personally as well as through creative blocks and challenges.
I'd love you to join us!

This is what participants of 'Wild Write' have said:
'I highly recommend Wild Writing with Eva... the space created is powerfully potent and focused, yet so simple. I decided to start on something that seemed impossible, overwhelming. And I did it! Amazing and so grateful. ' Kimaya Crolla-Younger
'A gift to myself and a gift from others. a space to feel others around me. helps me focus and give this time to myself. connecting across distances. feeling held and less alone.' Al Head
'Thank you, Eva, for a wholehearted and enriching opportunity to delve into my creative imagination.
I found the simple time boundaries of shared writing a gentle way to hold me in my focus and intention to write and express myself. The sharing kept the process alive and allowed me to be witnessed and share a sense of community spirit with other writers. Deep writing with Wild Write is a real gift and a treasure I cherish and I definitely hope to continue with one day a week of shared writing where possible. It's an anchor for my soul. Thank you." KC
'Eva has created a powerful writer’s cocoon with her wild writing sessions. I have found the holding of the event fully support a dive into my creativity and writing. I’s very simple yet very powerful to create and write alongside other people. Thank you Eva for giving me this time and space.' Trevor
'This is a wonderful venture by Eva Weaver - a gift in these times of lockdown. The sense of community is strong, Eva is a kind and wise facilitator, who somehow manages to tease out our creativity and help our prose and true selves shine!
I've surprised myself producing two pieces of writing that just came out of being in this fine group. I have also harnessed the group energy to write difficult emails, or notes to myself that I hadn't gotten round to. Really you can work with this space how you feel - it's a subtle, alchemical writing pot.' Bayari Lou Beegan
About me:
Writing has been very healing for me over the course of my life, be it through poetry or with the two historic novels I have written that deal with challenging historical events. I’ve also been interested in the connection between our bodies and how we express ourselves creatively and erotically in the world for a long time.
I believe passionately in the healing power of creativity and in our birthright to creativity and a fulfilled sexuality. My intention is to support people to feel more empowered and alive and I bring my heart, passion and wisdom from my own healing journey and my experiences as a performance artist, writer, art therapist, sexological bodyworker, rebirther & creativity coach to my work and offerings.
