The Sound of Real Life Happening 2025: A Year of 11s

This year-long experience offers you a deceptively simple invitation: Show up and write 11 things every day, once per season, with the same group of fellow travelers. Nothing you record will be deemed too mundane or too radical, too boring or too blasphemous. Your life is your life, and nobody else among the 7.6 billion humans on the planet is having the same experience as you. Come practice and discover the magic of writing “elevens” and sustaining a practice of noticing and curiosity throughout the year.

2024 Dates: January 11-21, April 11-21, June 11-21, October 11-21

Writing Into the Days of Awe

Join Jena for a special 90-minute workshop, where you will have the opportunity to listen to the stirrings of your own soul as we approach the High Holidays, the most sacred moment in the Jewish year. No previous poetry writing experience required – all welcome. Jena will provide prompts based on the traditional elements of the liturgy along with those we generate together as a group, and we will have periods of silent writing along with sharing and connection.
