Sobre el curso

El mundo necesita escuchar tu Dharma: tu propio viaje espiritual, 

expresado con verdad, humildad, y gracia.

En este taller de seis semanas, aprenderemos a compartir nuestros caminos espirituales por escrito: cómo escribir con autenticidad y vulnerabilidad, cómo decir lo que queremos decir, y cómo apoyar a otros y ser apoyado en el acto de creación.

Each session will explore another facet of spiritual writing. estaremos escribiendo juntos, examinando las obras de escritores de renombre que escriben sobre la espiritualidad o la entrelazan a través de sus historias, sus ensayos, sus poemas. Escucharemos a artistas contemporáneos escribir desde una perspectiva espiritual., y tener la oportunidad de hacerles preguntas y explorar nuestra escritura con ellos.

Además, 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, fuerza creativa esencial. Este curso es un espacio seguro y de apoyo para tomar riesgos con nuestra escritura., and to find a warm community of fellow writers.
