Om kurset

Verden har brug for at høre din Dharma: din egen spirituelle rejse, 

udtrykt med sandhed, ydmyghed, og nåde.

I denne seks ugers workshop, vi vil lære at dele vores åndelige veje på skrift: hvordan man skriver med autenticitet og sårbarhed, hvordan man siger, hvad vi mener, og hvordan man støtter andre og bliver støttet i skabelsen.

Each session will explore another facet of spiritual writing. Vi vil skrive sammen, undersøger værker af anerkendte forfattere, der skriver om eller snører spiritualitet gennem deres historier, deres essays, deres digte. Vi vil høre fra moderne kunstnere, der skriver fra et spirituelt perspektiv, og har mulighed for at stille dem spørgsmål og udforske vores forfatterskab med dem.

In addition, we will have weekly time to write together for the duration of the course. Each weekly writing session will start with brief meditation practice, a quote, and an optional prompt.

We will discuss and explore how we can connect with the mind of meditation and our own, væsentlig kreativ kraft. Dette kursus er et sikkert og støttende rum til at tage risici med vores skrivning, and to find a warm community of fellow writers.
