Soul Sauce Writing: Week 2

The Question by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Transcript

Hello and welcome to Soul Sauce Writing, a five week course exclusively delivered to you here on Substack.

What does this mean?

Each week, I will read different poems to you, offering them like medicine. Then I will present jump off lines. Finally, a timer will be set, and you will write whatever comes through you, releasing it onto the page. Without editing, crossing out, or seeking to "be good enough". Simply put: pen to paper for the allotted amount of time.

Soul Sauce Writing is a practice of noticing, paying attention, and listening. Over time, my hope is that we all begin to notice how this gentle observing carries over into other areas of our lives. We embody more presence. We become more calm. We begin heal ourselves one word at a time.

So this is me, inviting you to give it a whirl. I believe in you little Love Sprinkler. You’ve got this.

Love,

Michelle

Welcome to Soul Sauce Writing, Week 2.

Today's piece is inspired from the poem: The Question by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer.

After listening, please pick one of the following jump off lines and write for 8 minutes.

I let myself be led...

As I wait for...

Right here, right now...

My Village Well with Michelle Podcast

Michelle has been set free by telling the truth. Some pieces she writes and stores away, inaccessible for public consumption. Other pieces she feels compelled to share as a thread that links us together in this Life Tapestry. Either way, Michelle believes in the power of extracting the words OUT of our bodies. Whether we recognize it or not, Michelle believes that emotions take up residence in our hearts, livers, and spleens without even offering to help with the rent and utilities. By setting stories free we begin to feel lighter.

For over 20 years, Michelle has facilitated workshops, retreats, and coached clients, intuitively serving others as they move forward on their path. Michelle believes that Soul Sauce Writing is simply noticing, paying attention, and a listening practice.

She hopes you will join her for the Soul Sauce Writing Podcast to experience your own journey of liberation.
