Über den Kurs

Die Welt muss deinen Dharma hören: Deine eigene spirituelle Reise, 

mit Wahrheit ausgedrückt, Demut, und Gnade.

In diesem sechswöchigen Workshop, Wir werden lernen, unsere spirituellen Wege schriftlich zu teilen: wie man mit Authentizität und Verletzlichkeit schreibt, wie wir sagen, was wir meinen, und wie man andere unterstützt und beim Schöpfungsakt unterstützt wird.

Each session will explore another facet of spiritual writing. Wir werden zusammen schreiben, Untersuchen der Werke renommierter Schriftsteller, die über Spiritualität schreiben oder sie durch ihre Geschichten schnüren, ihre Aufsätze, ihre Gedichte. Wir werden von zeitgenössischen Künstlern hören, die aus einer spirituellen Perspektive schreiben, und die Möglichkeit haben, ihnen Fragen zu stellen und unsere Texte mit ihnen zu erkunden.

Zusätzlich, 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, wesentliche schöpferische Kraft. Dieser Kurs ist ein sicherer und unterstützender Raum, um mit unserem Schreiben Risiken einzugehen, and to find a warm community of fellow writers.
