When was the last time a TV show changed you?
Made you want to be a kinder human?
For so many of us, Ted Lasso has done just that.
You don't have to be sporty or into soccer football to love it.
Somewhere between the biscuits, the locker room speeches and the hand-painted BELIEVE sign, the show reminded us of something we've been trying to remember our whole lives:
That curiosity changes everything.
Tenderness isn't weakness.
And becoming the person you long to be begins with one small, mustard sized seed of BELIEF…
So...
In honor of season 4 releasing this week, I'm hosting something a little different:
This isn't a film analysis, it's not a fan convention.
And honestly - you don't even need to have seen a single episode.
We'll gather over Zoom with tea, music, a few carefully chosen clips and writing prompts designed to help reconnect you to your own creative courage.
If there's one thing Ted is ELITE at - it's connection. He leads through silliness. Through play. Through courageous vulnerability. He puts people first. He's magnetic and loved for being his most outrageously authentic self.
Community is what this is all about.
We'll write about the people who believed in us.
The parts of ourselves we've judged instead of loved.
The dreams that deserve one more chance.
And the small, beautiful ways we can choose to believe before we have proof.
If you're already a Ted Lasso fan, I think you'll leave feeling like you've stepped into The Crown & Anchor in Richmond for an evening. I'll be your personal Mae for the evening ;) IYKYK. Scratch that - I'm Keeley. Or shoot. Rebecca. Oh gosh. I can't decide!
If you've never seen the show, you'll simply leave with a fuller notebook, and a softer heart.
Bring a journal.
Bring a friend.
Bring your wonderfully imperfect self.
I'll bring the digital biscuits.
Ted Lasso is friendship. Kindness. Mentorship. Crisp fall nights cheering for your favorite team.
Ted Lasso is vulnerability. Tears without restraint.
Ted Lasso is believe. No matter what.
It's courageous living. Courageous loving.
Ted Lasso is radical integrity, honesty and FUN.
POETRY HANGS OUT WHERE LIFE IS. Ted Lasso is poetry lived out loud.
Let's write our most truest true – together.
WHEN: Thursday, August 13th from 6-8 pm central
WHERE: Zoom
TICKET PRICE: $65
WHO: Literally everyone is welcome! Bring your friends, your boyfriends, your husbands, your dads – this is definitely a guy friendly class!
