The idea

Not another thing to achieve. A space to create.

Write & Breathe is a creative writing community for people who want to bring writing into their lives—not as another productivity goal, but as a meaningful practice of expression and exploration.

Many of us spend our days thinking, planning, deciding and delivering. We move through work and life in a mode that asks us to be efficient, useful and productive.

Here, we make a different kind of space. We pause, reconnect with ourselves and give our creativity room to move.

You are your own commissioner. Write because something in you wants to be expressed.

There is no requirement to publish, monetise or even finish what you write. The practice itself matters. And it might bring all just mentioned and dreamed of.

The sessions

An inspiration. A moment to breathe. Time to write.

Our regular online gatherings. Each session offers a gentle structure, with plenty of freedom to follow your own creative process.

01 / Inspiration

A spark for your writing

A short introduction to a writing idea, literary voice, technique or prompt to open up a new perspective.

02 / Breathwork

Step out of doing mode

A guided 20-minute breathing and awareness practice to pause, arrive and make room for a more receptive, imaginative state.

03 / Writing

Your uninterrupted time

45 minutes for your own work or the evening's prompt. No pressure to finish, share or get it right.

OPTIONAL

Community

Many voices, many languages

Write in the language you prefer.

The community is facilitated in English, making it possible for people from different backgrounds to meet and exchange. Your writing, however, can be in any language—your mother tongue, the language you dream in, or the one you are learning. You do not need to translate your creativity to belong here.

You are welcome here

For the curious, the practising and the just-beginning.

You don't need a manuscript, a writing routine or a business card that says “writer”. You only need an interest and calling in making space for words.

This space might be for you if…

  • You have a writing project waiting for your attention.
  • You want to rediscover a creative side of yourself.
  • You write—or want to write—poetry, fiction, essays, memoir or personal reflections.
  • You travel, move between places or live internationally.
  • You miss making something without needing it to become a product.
  • You spend much of your working life in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment.

A few things to know

  • All levels of writing experience are welcome.
  • Sharing is optional; feedback is never imposed.
  • This is a creative community, not a critique group or therapy space.
  • Online gatherings are open internationally, with Zurich as our home and time zone base.
  • Occasional in-person gatherings and collaborations take place.
A note from your facilitator

Held with curiosity, care and room to explore.

Write & Breathe is facilitated by a Zurich-based coach and breathwork practitioner.

My name is Justyna and my work brings together coaching, embodied awareness and a deep appreciation for the creative process.

I draw on my training in coaching and breathwork to create a thoughtful, trauma-informed space where people can step away from their everyday performance mode and reconnect with their own ideas, words and imagination.

My role is not to judge your words or tell you what they should become. It is to hold the structure, offer inspiration and make room for your process to unfold.

Find your way in

Come once. Stay for the practice.
