\"writing<\/p>\n

This 6-week workshop explores the powerful nature of applying mindfulness to the process of writing. Each class begins with a short guided meditation, and the writing emerges from that. Building on the many different ways we can use the mind other than the linear \u2018left-brain\u2019 style we are taught in school, meditation offers new paths, which have the potential to open us to the vastness within.<\/p>\n

A very special part of the class will be the opportunity to participate in a Japanese Tea Ceremony with a practiced master. The traditional Japanese tea ceremony is more than just drinking tea; it is an experience that embodies harmony, respect, purity and tranquility that must be delivered and received in mindful presence.<\/p>\n

While many of us write on our own, there is also great value in writing together and learning in a deeper way how reflective practices manifest in our creative expression.<\/p>\n

Become part of a writing community while furthering your own, and participating in others\u2019 practice. This is a unique opportunity to push past previous obstacles and find your inner voice!<\/em><\/p>\n
