IN BRAVE SPACE
Email me for a LINK to Zoom.
Arriving in Brave Space, you get a grounding embodiment meditation to start. You also get a prompt that will meet you wherever you are, for whatever you're working on, in any genre.
We write (or make art or music) for an hour. I mark the quarters with quotes and inspiration, reminders to breathe, and ways to stay on track. You can CHAT with me privately throughout the session for help starting, for frustrating moments in your writing, for inner critic issues and doubt, and any fears you are feeling. I will help you get through it all.
After the creative hour, we have an optional discussion about the process (@20 minutes) to discover our personal patterns, ways to manage better and ways to show up more deeply for our creative work.
Afterwards I send an email to all participants from that session. It will not show anyone your email address. This email provides details of the session highlighting and reflecting back what we learned. People tell me they tape these onto their walls for added support!
THURSDAYS (12pm ET) in BRAVE SPACE are for POETS and those who want to GENERATE work from the poetry prompt. We write for @35 minutes. We share for @35 minutes. We discuss the process and submissions for @20 minutes.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
There is no commitment necessary - come when you can, leave when you want to.

PAYMENT
I run Brave Space for a minimum suggested payment of $5-20/session. If you are unable to afford any amount, you may make arrangements with me to come for free.
Your payment helps me serve people with disabilities, chronic illness, those w/limited incomes and others who can't afford to pay. It also pays for my time creating, curating and running Brave Space. Please be generous with me. You will find that you get a lot from Brave Space.
I prefer Venmo @Emma-Goldman-Sherman at 8102 if they ask. Or Zelle to Barbara Goldman-Sherman (my legal name) at emmagoldmansherman@gmail.com. I will take Paypal (emmagoldmansherman@gmail.com) if you are outside the United States and pay the fees.
When I see your payment, I send confirmation. If you're not paying, just say so, and I'll confirm that too.
Brave space for survivors
If you are writing or creating through personal trauma, I can help you set healthy boundaries around your work. Being in Brave Space helps survivors feel more empowered to create.
Even if you’re working on something that has nothing to do with trauma, if you have a trauma history (as I do), you might not want to work alone. You don’t have to commit to multiple sessions - just come once to see for yourself how brave you might be!
