Welcome! I\u2019m Mar\u00eda\u00a0<\/h4>

Whether you found this page after joining my workshop, spotting my name in the festival program, meeting me in a corridor, or simply scanning this QR out of curiosity, I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here.<\/strong><\/p>

I put this space together so you can explore the work we shared (or will share!) in your own way and at your own pace. You\u2019ll find the booklet we used during the workshop, which you\u2019re welcome to download even if you couldn\u2019t attend in person. It won\u2019t tell the whole story, of course, but it offers a taste of the practices and approaches I like to bring into my group sessions.<\/p>

There\u2019s also a recording of the workshop, in case you missed it or want to revisit something that resonated. And, if you\u2019re curious to explore a little further, I\u2019ve added two additional booklets that you\u2019re welcome to browse.<\/p>

If you\u2019d like to stay connected, I\u2019d love that. You can sign up for my newsletter<\/a> (I write occasionally; no inbox flooding, promise!) or reach out by email<\/a> or WhatsApp<\/a>, whatever feels most natural for you.<\/p>

Thanks for taking a moment to be here. I hope these resources support you, spark something, or accompany you as you move through the festival. And who knows, maybe our paths will cross again soon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Oh! Just one thing before you go!
This winter, I’m excited to invite you to a unique Wintering Writing Circle<\/strong>. It’s not your typical writing group; we’ll be exploring the reflective nature of winter, its themes, and engaging with the community. I’d love to have you join us if you’re interested.
Winter is my second-favourite season (just after autumn). I find calm and depth in its darkness. It’s like being with that quiet friend who only speaks when they have something profound to say, and otherwise is silent, present, but as far away in their mind. Not the soul of the party, but the one who will call your BS, do the tough love and be the compassionate and non-judgmental support because, no matter their age, they are an old soul and know what that suffering is, what it requires and how to guide us to the other side. I like the short winter days, the low sun, the frozen grass in the early morning, and the intimacy darkness invites.
I am less introspective in summertime, but winter pulls me inwards, where reflective writing feels like a warm, comforting hot chocolate.\u00a0
If you are like me, you may welcome a therapeutic writing practice in these winter weeks, guided by mythic winter figures like the Celtic Cailleach, Boreas, and other winter spirits from European folklore.\u00a0
I’m eagerly looking forward to our first group writing circle, which will be on Sunday, the 14th. I can’t wait to share this reflective and creative journey with you.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
