As someone who once hated the writing process herself, Script Pipeline-winning filmmaker and meditation teacher Erin Cantelo knows that the struggle to write is real.

You want to write but haven’t started. You write for days, weeks, or more but can’t stay consistent. You used to write but fell off the writing-train and can’t figure out how to get back on track. You’d write, if only you had the time! You write consistently but you’re miserable doing it.

Any of this sound familiar? You are the hero in your own story and just like your protagonists, you do have what it takes to overcome your obstacles and get writing consistently and even joyfully.

Come ready to explore, reflect, and get curious about what does and doesn’t work for your writing process as you create a personal ritual that works for you.

What you’ll get:

• The Writing Ritual Toolkit: A checklist for experimenting with the routines that support your writing process—and the flexibility to change your ritual as you change.
• Meditation for Writers: An introduction to meditation and meditative techniques designed to help you get into the flow, tap into your imagination, and get inspired.
• Get Unstuck Tips and Tricks: For when you inevitably get stuck. (Don’t worry—it’s part of the process!)
• Practices to infuse kindness, gentleness, self-compassion, and dare we say … joy into your personal writing ritual.
• Q&A

Your stories deserve to be told.

What attendees have said ...

"Erin Cantelo is an articulate, insightful and very engaging leader with very specific steps to take explained in clear terms. So helpful! I'm excited to read- and start using her worksheet! Jeanne Bowerman added some compelling points at the end too - and listed upcoming events that sound great."

"This session was something I personally needed for such a long time, and honestly, I feel like if I hadn’t taken it, in a few years I would have said, 'I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH BACK THEN.”'

"Erin truly cleared the mental fog I had, and helped me understand the concept of ritual, as well as the physiological process happening in our brains that deserves to be understood and attended to so it can actually support us and make our writing more effective."

"I feel like this profession is filled with extremely conceptual and abstract ideas and processes, and Erin not only gave us a very tangible way to approach them, but also tools I’m already dying to implement. They make writing feel like a space of so much more joy and enjoyment."

"Her perspective felt like the excitement of a first date with writing all over again. I left with nothing but the desire to fall in love with it again and again."
