Welcome to Your Morning Pages Session

Morning pages are three-ish pages of unfiltered writing—no editing, no audience, no goal except to empty your head. This kit turns that practice into a stable ritual you can do alone or with a small group.

Before You Begin

  • Best done early in the day, but any quiet hour works
  • Ideal for solo practice or tiny groups of 2–6
  • Let everyone know that what they write is private and never needs to be shared

Flow of the Session

1. Arrive and Settle (5–10 minutes)

  • Make tea or water, find a comfortable seat
  • Take a few slow breaths together or alone
  • Set a gentle timer for 20–30 minutes

2. Write Without Stopping (20–30 minutes)

  • Put pen to paper and write whatever comes up: boring, messy, repetitive
  • If you get stuck, write “I don’t know what to write” until something shifts
  • Try not to reread or edit—just keep moving forward

3. Close Softly (5–10 minutes)

  • When the timer ends, finish your sentence and close your notebook
  • If in a group, invite a quick check-in: “How did that feel?” (no content sharing)
  • Decide whether you’ll meet again and when

Variations & Ideas

  • Weekly ritual: Host a group session once a week instead of daily.
  • Evening pages: Adapt for “night pages” to wind down before bed.
  • Prompt-assisted: Offer a starter line for people who feel stuck.
