星期六从 11:00 是. - 1:00 下午. 东方

可能 11, 18, 25 / 六月 1, 8, 15

关于课程

The world needs to hear your Dharma: your own spiritual journey, 

expressed with truth, humility, and grace.

在这个为期六周的工作坊中, 我们将学习如何以书面形式分享我们的精神之路: 如何真实而脆弱地写作, 如何表达我们的意思, 以及如何支持他人并在创作过程中获得支持.

Each session will explore another facet of spiritual writing. We will be writing together, examining the works of renowned writers who write about or lace spirituality through their stories, their essays, their poems. We will hear from contemporary artists writing from a spiritual perspective, and have the opportunity to ask them questions and explore our writing with them.

此外, 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, essential creative force. This course is a safe and supportive space to take risks with our writing, and to find a warm community of fellow writers.
