Southern Momentum Creative Writing Workshop for Organizations, Work Place Environment, and Community Groups.

Curated workshops Designed to foster Wellness, Somatic Ease, creativity, and Community.

We are a Southern-rooted literary ecosystem, passionate about making writing an essential and accessible part of everyday wellness.

We believe writing belongs in more places than classrooms, Substack, and private journals. Writing belongs anywhere people gather to work, heal, lead, create, remember, reconnect, or make sense of what doesn’t.

To that end, we developed the Writing Momentum Workshop Matrix™ to bring world class writing programs to organizations, workplace wellness programs, retreats, community groups, and wellness centers as easy as one, two, three.

Step One: Choose the Theme

  • Select the purpose and desired outcome for the workshop. The theme shapes the prompts, tone, activity blocks, and writing focus. These themes are broad enough to fit a variety of purposes and specific enough to meet niche programming and requests.

Step Two: Choose the Package

  • Each package consists of fixed duration, participant capacity (per the AWA Method Standards), included supports, and built-in deliverables. Our packages are designed to fit inside an existing event, retreat, workplace wellness program, or community gathering or function as a standalone feature.

Step Three: Choose the Writing Focus Blocks

  • Select the curated writing focuses that shapes the construction of the workshop. Each focus block provides clear experiences, ranging from reflective memory integration exercises to whole crown sonnets.

Some workshops are built directly from the Writing Momentum Workshop Matrix™, but most are customized during the Community Collaboration Call™.

If your organization or business see a place where a curated writing workshop can add to or help build community, we’d love to chat. Drop us a line.

Our Workshops are Judgment Freedom Zone Quote Block

“Just know that everyone’s writing is terrible. Until it’s not. No one’s stuff is right immediately. You gotta work it. Refine it. Shape it. Spend time with it. It’s a relationship. Between you and what comes from you. Not easy. Gonna be terrible before it’s not. And that’s okay.” ~ Ava DuVernay

Southern Momentum Creative Writing Workshops™ offers writing workshops based on the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) Method, founded by Pat Schneider. This method uses six principles to establish safe, affirming, process-focused writing workshops where participants are encouraged to write openly and without fear of judgement, retribution, or critique.

“Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) has trained over 1,000 facilitators worldwide. While the vast majority are concentrated in the US and Canada, the global network includes certified leaders in countries ranging from Mexico and Turkey to Singapore and the Netherlands.” Amherst Writers & Artist.
