Here are the events happening at Woolf Works during the month of September. We hope to see you there!

september 5th – Cyclic Meditation

What’s it all about?

Many of the ills of modern life stem from heightened stress levels that affects our bodies’ immune response – creating imbalances. Yoga and meditation techniques are used to both restore and enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. Come along to this session for a taste of cyclic meditation!

What we will cover

Cyclic meditation is a practice that alternates stimulation and relaxation to take your body and mind into progressively deeper rest. Discover the connections between your mind and body, as we are guided in simple yoga postures designed to stimulate our senses and prepare us for deeper layers of silence and relaxation.

september 5th – Unlock The Mystery of Method Acting

What’s it all about?

Explore the basics of method acting that is most associated with Lee Strasberg (1901-1982), master-teacher and artistic director of The Actors Studio. Practitioners of Strasberg’s technique are referred to as “method actors”. Method actors who have won Academy Awards include Daniel Day-Lewis, Meryl Streep, and Marlon Brando.

What we will cover

This is an introduction to the method acting training techniques that can enable you to access your creative instincts and build confidence in the way you communicate. We will be gaining a brief understanding of the basics of acting preparation and performance in a safe and non-judgemental environment amongst like-minded people.

september 7th – Members’ Lean-In Circle

Members’ Lean-In Circle Series @ Carpenter Street

A few months ago, we launched a peer-to-peer support and goal acceleration group in the spirit of the Lean-In Circles. With just a small group of eight, we’ve come together once a month engaging in in-depth discussions on personal leadership topics in the context of a structured facilitated session. More than anything, in sharing our stories and journey over the months, we’ve bonded as a team. Cheering each other on, keeping each other honest and taking an extra step reaching out – to encourage each other in reaching our goals.

We’re kicking off our next series of Woolf Works Members’ Lean-In Circle on Wednesday, 7th of September 3-5pm at Carpenter Street. The sessions are free and open to all memberships after registration.

Are you a member of Woolf Works and interested in being a part of this?
Following great interest in the sessions by non-members, we’re also launching a Woolf Works Lean-In Community: Open to everyone, less intimate in character, and in the evening time. It is a slightly different concept, inviting our extended network.

september 8th – Parent/Writer: Making A Creative Life

How do lead caregivers squeeze in time to cultivate their craft between childcare, home care, and a day job? This two-hour workshop for writers (or other creative professionals) will offer practical strategies for staying fulfilled as an artist and a parent.

We will read a number of short essays and poems about the intersection of art and care work, write and share several of our own pieces (created in the workshop)!

This workshop will not only arm you with time-management and goal-setting tools but will also help you battle impostor syndrome and recognize the importance of self-care.

september 17th – Shut Up and Write

Hello, late-night writers.
Hello, full-time corporates with a writing passion on the side.
Hello, mums with too many kids under foot during the week.
Hello, lonely writer, are the walls caving in on you?

Introducing Shut Up and Write, at Woolf Works.

A time and space for writers to come together on a Saturday and write. To use the sound of other fingers tapping on laptops to fuel your own fingers; to carve out a set time in the week to just DO IT. To write.

No set topics; no peer reviews.

A beautiful space, with great coffee and tea on free flow.

A spot in your schedule that is for YOU to do that blog post, short story, memoir, article, or essay that you have been planning.

To meet others who share your passion.

Once a month on a Saturday, 10 – 4pm
