In this Transformational Writing Masterclass, we will explore the spiritual, energetic and creative forces held within our writing. Chelsea will guide the group through a healing meditation. We will witness shifts, and patterns from within our writing lives, on and off the page. We will align and attune to a renewed vision and relationship with the written word. Bring a new journal, as we begin a new chapter of our writing lives in this class or select one from the shoppe. This class is open to all levels of writers, those who disconnected from their writing, those who wish to write again, and those curious about beginning their relationship with writing.
Thursday, June 15th | 6PM- 8PM EST | ZOOM | $45 Offering
What power & energy do symbols hold? How can we begin to access this within the symbols ours lives, our writing, and and our held histories?
Chelsea will guide you through an intentional exploration of the symbols within your experiences and your writing.
You will connect with these symbols to draw out, excavate, and clear what is held through energy work and writing from and within symbols.
You will receive a new symbol to work with to encourage, foster, and catalyze new growth and wisdom in your life on and off the page. You will learn to work with the energy your new symbol, to weave into your energetic field and into your writing.
Thursday, June 22nd | 2:30PM- 4PM | ZOOM | $55- Offering
Using scene work, and guided meditation we will return to points in our narrative that are frozen energetically, and in need of support. We will rescript these pieces of our lives on the page, and shift them in our fields. Note this masterclass is highly experiential, and involves energy work.

Praise
I knew when I saw Chelsea and how she was able to read the audience during the workshops she was going to be very helpful. She knew when we needed to stray, and where we needed to go. I don’t think I would have ever made a move towards any kind of healing without the writing classes. I would have gone the rest of my life minimizing with no clue to the level of trauma that was in my cells waiting to be acknowledged and healed. Lots of work left to do, but I have come so far. Thankful for Chelsea and her workshops and classes.

Chelsea’s classes and her teachings on poetry and writing changed me as writer and a person. I now have a pretty strong daily writing practice because of Chelsea and her help and guidance, especially during the pandemic in her daily class. We wrote everyday. And that little group was what we all needed. Her class helped us process the happenings of the world in the moment, and even intergenerational trauma. Chelsea’s practice within the group and with other sessions I have had with her have truly changed my writing practice. I am forever grateful for that.

Chelsea Palermo brings a deep understanding of poetry and writing to her energy-based workshops. Using her gifts as a poet, medium and healer, she helps participants tap into resources buried in their subconscious as they work to unearth creative flow and new ideas. The results are electric and insightful -- I left Chelsea’s workshop with drafts and ideas not only for one poem, but for a new area of exploration. If you are feeling blocked or stagnated, her workshops will help you push through obstacles to uncover new material, new concepts and new directions in your work. If you are looking to focus your writing or discover something new about your own creative process, I highly recommend that you attend her workshop. You will be glad you did.

I’ve been lucky to catch several of Chelsea’s workshops at the Waterwitch Cafe. It’s usually a mix of new and experienced poets. Chelsea has gift for making her workshops engaging and challenging for advanced published poets, while at the same time encouraging and inspiring new poets. In her workshops, everyone is equal. She puts the focus on art, and not the ego, letting everyone connect and feel comfortable. She knows how to nurture a good poem out of just about anyone.

The Write Journey is a very appropriate name for the collection of writing workshops facilitated by Chelsea Palermo. It is not so much what I am learning about writing that has transformed my work, but rather what I have uncovered about myself. The daily “Write to Release” group has opened my mind to interpreting poetry in a way I never have before, taking other’s work to relate to my own experiences and emotions. Interacting with like-minded people has brought consistency to my writing practice as well as helped me navigate my own poetic, and spiritual journey. I recommend this class to anyone who is trying to awaken the dormant parts of themselves.

A few months ago, my life took a dramatic shift, and I felt like I needed spiritual guidance. A friend connected me with Chelsea. I had two conversations with Chelsea, one which included an Akashic Records reading. In my initial conversation with Chelsea, without giving her much information at all, she was able to tap into the energetics of what was happening in my life, and gave me clarity through sharing with me a visual image which would up describing my situation perfectly. her insight supported me in gaining initial understanding of why the dramatic changed happened. Through her sharing of her gift, I was able to gain insight that I needed to begin my healing.
During our official Akashic Records session, I was able to get a glimpse of Chelsea's vast and profoundly valuable gift, where she connected with my spirit guides, and helped me gain even more clarity on steps that I needed to take moving forward in my life. Some of the guidance and messages made sense immediately, whereas other bits have slowly, been becoming more clear over time, and continue to unfold.
If you are someone who is seeking support from an authentically gifted individual who can connect with the unseen realm of Spirit and bring you concrete messages from your guides, then I highly recommend Chelsea. She is warm, open and gives her all in showing up for her clients. I am grateful for having been able to have a reading with her.
