Workshop

Kickstart Your Writing Practice

A 90-minute Moving Pen workshop for anyone who wants to write more — and think more deeply.

You don’t need to be a writer to write.

You don’t need a plan, a story or anything important to say.

Sometimes, you simply need a pen, a piece of paper and the time to stay with your own thoughts for a little longer.

Kickstart Your Writing Practice is a 90-minute introduction to Moving Pen — a guided writing practice built around handwriting, attention and reflection.

Here, we’ll explore what happens when you put the phone away, pick up a pen and allow your thoughts to unfold on the page.

This isn’t a writing course.

You won’t be taught how to write better.

Instead, you’ll be given a series of simple writing practices designed to help you slow down, pay attention and discover what your own writing has to say.

During the workshop, you will

Explore writing as a way of paying attention
Experience several guided Moving Pen practices
Work with the resistance that often appears when we sit down to write
Discover how writing can help you think more clearly
Create the beginnings of a writing practice you can continue on your own

There is nothing to prepare.

You don’t have to share what you write.

And there is no expectation that anything you produce will be good, finished or even make sense.

The only thing that matters is that you stay with the pen.

Who is it for?

This workshop is for anyone who feels they would like to write more regularly, think more clearly or create a little more space for themselves.

You might already write.

You might not have written anything since school.

You might have a notebook sitting on your desk that you keep meaning to use.

Or you might simply be curious about what happens when you give your thoughts a little more room.

You are welcome.

What to bring

Bring a notebook you enjoy writing in and a pen you like using.

I’ll provide coffee, water and snacks.

That’s it.

The workshop

90 minutes // Copenhagen // DKK 495,-

The workshop is intentionally informal and practical.

After the workshop, you’ll also have the opportunity to continue with Moving Pen Practice — an online writing practice with a new guided exercise every Sunday.

The workshop is designed as a beginning.

What happens next is up to you.
