Sprouts Writing and Creativity Group
Come with nothing prepared. Leave with something you did not know was in you.
Writing, drawing, poetry, prose, or something without a name yet. Every Wednesday, live, with plant kin beside you and people who will not ask you to explain what came out… or why.
You have things in you that have never had the right moment to come out.
Expressing yourself creatively, even just going from thought to page, can be scary.
It is not a lack of ideas. Somewhere along the way, expression became something that needed to be evaluated. Shared, judged, explained, justified. You learned to edit before you began, to ask whether what was forming inside you was worth putting out into the world. And slowly, the impulse to create started waiting for permission that never quite arrived.
This is especially true for people who carry a lot. Whose minds move across many domains. Who have spent years being competent, precise, and composed, and have almost forgotten that there are parts of themselves that have never been given a room to exist in.
This group was built for those parts.
What you make here belongs only to the people in the room at the moment you make it. There are no recordings. No replays. No one outside that Wednesday circle will ever hear it unless you choose to share it. Safety is not a promise; it is the structure. When nothing can be preserved or reviewed, the inner editor loses its grip.
And when the inner editor loses its grip, something else takes over. The part of you that does not reason before it moves. That responds to a prompt the way a plant responds to light… in the moment. That is what the living world teaches us when we slow down enough to pay attention. And that is what happens here, every Wednesday, when the prompt arrives and the page opens.
Karen, one of our regular Sprouts, captured it exactly:
“I release my attachment to what I wanted this to be, to how I was trying to control what the pen was reporting.”
That is what becomes possible here.
A different leader every week.
A different direction every time.
Each session is led by a rotating Sprout who brings prompts, a medium, and an entry point the group follows together. Some weeks that means blackout poetry carved from a borrowed page or fairy tale writing that begins with “once upon a time,” and ends somewhere nobody predicted. Some weeks it means writing song lyrics, exploring a past life through prose, or making a collage from whatever is nearby. Other weeks the words step aside entirely and watercolors or crochet become the language.
The range is intentional. When you never know what medium is coming, the thinking mind cannot prepare. It cannot pre-decide what good looks like. Something else has to navigate.
Plants are always present. Not as a theme or a decoration, but as genuine co-creators. Sometimes a plant partner sits beside you and shifts what arrives on the page in ways that resist explanation, their presence changing the quality of attention in the room before anyone writes a word. Other times kin offer something quieter: a non-logical signal, a permission to follow without knowing where you are going. This is what the living world does when you stop asking it to be useful and simply let it be present.
Over time, what emerges in these sessions begins to show you something. The things that surface week after week, medium after medium, tell a story about your complexity that thinking alone could never assemble.
The group is part of Seedling Sprouts in the Naturally Conscious Community®, $3 USD per month with your first month free. Sessions are live and unrecorded. What happens in the room stays in the room.
Part of the Naturally Conscious Community®
The Sprouts Writing and Creativity Group is one practice inside a membership built around a single question: what changes in how you live, work, and understand yourself when you spend time in genuine relationship with the living world?
Seedling Sprouts gives you three practices to explore that question from different angles — creative expression, deep reading, and direct conversation with plant kin. All for $3 USD per month, with your first month free.
What comes with your membership
Sprouts Writing and Creativity Group
Every Wednesday, a different prompt, a different medium. Expression moves through written word, visual art, movement, or whatever the session leader brings. No critique. Nothing needs to be finished.
Plant Wisdom Book Club
Read about what it means to be human in a living world full of intelligent, communicating, relational beings—plants—and what that realization does to you over time.
Mini-Voyages with Spirit Wild Plants
Self-paced guided journeys into relationship with a specific plant ally. A practice that stays with you long after the session ends.
The Naturally Conscious Community®
All three practices live inside NCC, a community of people building lives in conscious relationship with the living world. Your first month in Seedling Sprouts is free.
What becomes possible when you keep showing up.
Creative expression is not only for artists. It is how living systems process complexity, generate new forms, and find their way toward what they are becoming.
Falco Tarassaco, the spiritual founder of Damanhur, said it simply:
“A thought in your mind only helps you.
To serve others, you must put it into action.”
Damanhur is a community built on the belief that beauty, art, and creative expression are not luxuries. They are how conscious beings sustain themselves and each other. This group was born inside that belief.
When you keep showing up—week after week, prompt after prompt—something accumulates. You begin to notice what you carry. You begin to trust what arrives. And over time, what was only a private impulse becomes something you can offer to the world.
- When you step fully into your creative nature, you:
- Communicate what language alone cannot hold.
- Find the forms that make your complexity visible to yourself and to others.
- Co-create with the living world rather than extracting from it.
- Open doors that rational thinking keeps closed.
- Become someone who makes it easier for the people around you to do the same.
The prompt is waiting. The room is open.
You have been carrying something that needed a room. This is the room. The first month costs nothing. The first Wednesday costs only an hour. Come and see what arrives.
