Freeing the Spell of Story

We are storytelling beings. And while stories have meaning for us, they can also live in us as patterns that bind us, separate us, and limit our expression. As we recognize and loosen these patterns, spontaneous and transformative expressions emerge. In this four-week program, we will bring open, kind, and fierce attention to our habits of voice, of thought, of story-making. We will connect specific contemplative practices with writing prompts to evoke and loosen patterns and allow something surprising to emerge. Whether you are a new or experienced meditator or a new or experienced writer, this workshop will introduce you to meditation and writing practices that can help you break the spells that bind and free the voices that can benefit your writing and your life. In this program you will be supported to: Explore writing prompts that encourage the playful disruption of habits of writing and thinking Allow the richness of your many voices to emerge Discover a warm embracing refuge within you Share in collective presence and curiosity Receive downloadable resources and recordings of the writing prompts and guided meditations for ongoing daily support DATES/TIMES: Every Thursday from 7:00 – 8:30 pm NY time October 27, 2022 November 3, 2022 November 10, 2022 November 17, 2022
