Meesha‘s class is a panacea… It’s the most authentic part of my week —every week, I surprise myself and discover new depths to my writing. Meesha creates a non-judgmental, supportive community that invites unpredictable creative expression.
If you’ve ever wanted to write but felt intimidated, short on time, or struggled to start, participate in one of my writing workshops and step out of your comfort zone. These workshops preview our radically supportive writing circles in low-stakes settings.

Upcoming Zoom workshops:
The Madeleine Moment: Unlocking Memory, Meaning, and Emotions through Food Poetry
Just one taste of the sweet, buttery French cake mingled with lime blossom tea was all it took for Proust’s childhood memories to come flooding back to him. Unlock your own madeleine moment in this two-hour guided generative class where the sensory cues of food poetry (smell, taste, and sound) are used as writing prompts to trigger remembrances of your sweet and bitter past.
Behind every bite is a story. Behind every recipe, a memory. What we talk about when we talk about food isn’t just dinner—it’s nostalgia, joy, longing, and love.
With the holidays approaching, it’s the perfect time to write, reminisce, and reflect on the rituals, recipes, and flavors that make your family gatherings unforgettable, for better or worse.
Date: December 11, 6:30- 8:30 PT (9:30-11:30 ET)
Cost: $45

Here’s how it works
In this two-hour interactive session, we will explore the involuntary phenomenon of taste/memory and learn how to retrieve it using the therapeutic power of automatic writing. I will read a poem to the group to inspire us and suggest a couple of lines from the poem to use as writing prompts. You take it from there.
We spend 10-15 minutes writing to each prompt, with the pen never leaving the page. The idea is to get a lot of words down without pausing to consider whether they’re “good enough.” We try to say yes to whatever comes up and get comfortable writing as our complicated, messy, real selves. This is how we find our authentic voice.
We’ll cover three writing prompts in this 2-hour meetup. You’ll leave with a handful of juicy writing and, quite possibly, some excavated inner truths. Whether you turn them into an essay, share them with someone close, or simply let yourself have a good, cathartic cry, you get to decide what comes next.
If you’re interested, you will have an opportunity to read a piece you wrote at the end.
Please DM or email me if you have any questions.
