What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in exploring and reflecting the connection between creativity, mindfulness, movement and self-expression.
Administrator is Hanna Nordqvist (Swedish Berlin-based performer, writer and Grinberg Method practitioner), but the group was initially co-created and developed together with Megan Spencer (Australian broadcaster, writer and Mindfulness Meditation teacher), as a cooperation and joint reflection on these topics.
Megan has now sadly moved back in Australia, but there is still the facebook-group "Express Yourself" as a plattform for continued exchange of resources and reflections (- from Berlin to Melbourne! :)). Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/expressyourselfwor...
For many years Hanna has been engaged in exploring how creativity and self-expression is affected by how we feel in and relate to our bodies – how we move and hold ourselves. And also the other way around: how our physical health and wellbeing is affected by the space we give for creativity and personal expression - the importance for us to move and speak and find ways to give a voice to what we feel, need and experience.
Alone and in cooperation with colleagues she is offering trainings, workshops and one-on-one-sessions, approaching this topic from different directions.
This Meet-Up group will be used to announce dates for workshops, trainings and different forms of meetings and get-togethers – different possibilities for exchange, exploration and reflection.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, OR any suggestions for or tips about meetings, events or resources that could be interesting for the group! OR if you yourself are doing work within this field and are interested in cooperation or exchange.

# Join me for 15 Minutes silent writing online. It is free and open for all!
My goals:
- to have a set daily time for a short writing in order to digest and have clarity for feelings and thoughts (-inspiration from „morning pages“ in Julia Cameron’s „Artist’s Way“)
- to have a peaceful shared room where it is possible to feel the connection to others, while journaling or working on whatever is important to you.
My Invitation:
You will find me every morning*** except Saturdays and Sundays at 9:00 am Berlin-time on Zoom. Link will be sent when you RSVP.
No problem coming late. Simply mute your microphone not to disturb, and start writing, whenever you enter.
Microphones are on mute. Cameras can be on or off, whatever you prefer. (For me it has been inspiring and added to the sense of connection to see the faces of everyone there, and also to know that I am visible, but I have complete understanding for whoever feels distracted or uncomfortable with the idea of being seen while they are writing. )
These 15 Minutes are not for chatting or direct exchange of thoughts, but simply to work quietly in your own notebook or on your own computer.
At 9:15 am I end my writing. Normally I will make a spontaneous brief „freestyle“ stretch or shake-out to let go of any built up „writing tension“. You are welcome to also join the impulse to stretch out or simply wave goodbye and leave the room.
*** Since I am a mother of a four plus year old, my time-planning is not always so predictable and it could be single days where due to illness, lack of childcare or similar where I'm prevented to join punctually or at all. The digital writing room is however still open for anyone who wants to enter, and mostly there will be some other participant there.
Shortly about me: I am a practitioner (bodywork, bodyoriented coaching, Grinberg Method, Pantarei approach) and trainer (biographical and creative writing, embodied writing, mindful movement and writing...). I offer one-on-one-sessions, workshops and writing spaces in Berlin and online.
