Meditation and Writing
with Phebe Beiser
Have you ever wanted to try meditation? Have you meant to do a regular practice yet resisted time after time? Are you familiar with the thoughts (monkey mind) that intrude when attempting peaceful moments?
Phebe Beiser, WWfaC core class facilitator, understands and will facilitate several short sitting periods interspersed with journaling. We will experience how much these two practices--writing and meditation--have in common and how they can enhance one another.
Themes will include writing, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, compassion, acceptance.
Please bring a journal for writing and a cushion for sitting, if you have one.

10am-1pm

NEW SPECIALTY WORKSHOP
|
Exploring Dream Language
with Glo Redmond
A month of Wednesday mornings in May dedicated to  creating a community of dreamers and writers sharing night visions and giving rise to words. We recall the story of the dream in images and metaphors, as well as settings, feelings, characters and color. These insights provide a rich vocabulary to take into our writing. Fusing The Haden Institute group dream process with the writing process practiced at Women Writing for (a) Change, we will journey into dream scripts. Similar to experiencing a poem and noting read back lines, those words that hold energy for you; the dream as it is told will hold energies for the dreamer and the others in the group. Our object is not to interpret the dream but to acknowledge the symbols and explore them in writing.
Wednesdays May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 10 am - 12 pm, $125
