When nothing softens the grief, may grief soften me.
- Andrea Gibson
This workshop is for anyone who wants a vessel to put down their pain in.
A safe space for all your feelings.
Writing community has never been more important.
Now more than ever, it's important to love each other. Write poems that are prayers for strangers.
You deserve this kindness. You deserve this sanctuary.

What if pain wasn't darkness— but a bird singing in your chest? In this workshop, we'll learn how to tend to our grief like it was a wounded bird. We'll reimagine the possibilities of our pain. Pain as birdsong. Pain as gemstone. Pain as pearl. Pain as moonlight. Pain as honeycomb. We will hold it like a mirror shard in our hands. This workshop is a part of my writing community. You can choose monthly or quarterly options.

What would it be to retrieve the pure joy you knew as a child? What it you could braid a choir of your past, present & future selves? Get them all to sing together? In this writing workshop, we will become the voice the child in us craved to hear. You deserve to give the child in you a second chance at joy. The childhood she would ve loved. We will untie the knots of internalised shame, self-doubt through the miracle of journalling + writing.
August and September 2025. August 17, 24, 31. September 7, 14. Timing: 10 am EST to 12 pm EST, which is 2 pm to 4 pm UK time, and 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm IST.

You can even bring in a childhood photograph to write a letter poem: a dear me (or dear self) poem. You'll write poems/letters to your childhood self, your future self, parts of yourself you've left in other people- or places you no longer are. Your future (dream) selves you haven't even met. Your pain is not your fate. It is NOT who you are. I will synthesise my work as a somatic coach & creative writing tutor to make this the safest possible place for growth.
August and September 2025. August 17, 24, 31. September 7 and 14. Timing: 10 am EST to 12 pm EST, which is 2 pm to 4 pm UK time, and 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm IST.

Through a combination of somatic (body-focused) writing & poetry therapy, we will free what you’ve suppressed. For years. Let it ‘spill’ onto the page as automatic writing, dreams, poem seeds, myths, voice notes. Let it feel like a prayer. A homecoming.

It's clear Trivarna puts her heart and soul into this community. She offers encouragement and validation to every participant, whether they are reading a poem out loud, sharing their draft work, or offering their insights and reactions to the example poems.

Excellent. Trivarna creates such a safe, nurturing space to grow and learn and develop. I felt very supported by her and the group both. It felt like a place to rest and from that place of rest to be able to explore - and that is the very definition of feeling absolutely safe. Additionally, she is extremely knowledgeable, so she has very much to share by way of resources, readings, prompts, feedback, etc. Her gentle spirit is a gift.
- Hilary Bilbury, Poet & Visual Artist

I would highly recommend this workshop. Trivarna creates a warm open environment in which to share thoughts and ideas, but also prompts you to dig deeper, and guides you in exploring your own experiences to create emotional resonance. She doesn't just tell, she shows.
- Jenny Wong, Poet & Essayist

It made me so happy to hear people read out their poems, and then, to see Trivarna, hang on every word, repeat them, send them into the universe, like prayers. To share your writing here is to have a meal, by a river, on a tree, the warmth of caring is felt no matter what. Gratitude and goodwill flow through this group. I will always be grateful for this space.
- Akriti Goel, Writer & Teacher
