Gentle Doorways
Self-guided writing sessions to help us soften into our writer selves
October is a time of quiet changes. While summer flowers bow their heads, the wind perks up, and daylight dissolves earlier, our writer selves are journeying too.
These four self-guided writing sessions invite us to ask:
What do I need to sweep away this fall, in order to make space for writing?
How can I honour the softness of this season, gathering what’s mine to gather so that I can write what’s calling to me?
What hasn’t happened yet in my creative life, that wants to?
Every Sunday morning in October, participants will receive an easy-to-follow email from Asifa and Chris at Firefly with a guided meditation, a writing prompt, a poem, and a tiny instruction for the day.

100% of the proceeds from this project will be donated to Indigenous Youth Roots “Creation Grants.”
This is the final push for our year-long fundraising project, creating a new stream of Creation Grants programming for youths pursuing projects related to creativity. Read more about our partnership here.
You can pay what you want for these sessions. We’re donating our time, so all of proceeds will go to Indigenous youths pursuing passion projects in their communities. If you want to donate to our fundraiser but don’t want these sessions, you can do that here — this method will generate a tax receipt.
