The Unfolding: Metal Season and the Art of Letting Go

The Unfolding is a series of writing workshops rooted in Taoist wisdom — drawing on the Tao Te Ching and the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) to explore writing as a practice woven into the natural rhythms of the seasons and of life itself.

This gathering explores Metal, the element of autumn: a phase of harvesting, gathering, and letting go. The session will bring in Taoist teaching on this phase alongside its expression in our writing and in our lives — what we're ready to release, and what's worth keeping.

Join us live on Zoom to write, reflect, and share in a small, supportive group.
