SUMMARY:Dharma of Writing Group
DESCRIPTION:So many of us say we want to write. When we write\, we come home to ourselves. We have ideas to explore\, stories to tell\, or songs to sing. Writing can illuminate\, clarify\, and heal. \nIn short\, writing is very powerful. Yet\, it is so difficult to begin! This is common and natural. \nThe Dharma of Writing is an ongoing two-hour online monthly gathering designed to help you enter your own writing with the support and companionship of other writers. It will be co-hosted by myself and Kate Lila Wheeler\, a novelist who is also an acclaimed Buddhist teacher. During the months that I host\, we will gather from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET and when Kate hosts\, it will be from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET. (We will alternate months.) This will give people in various time zones a chance to participate. \nAt each session\, we will practice meditation together and then actually write. Each person will work on his or her own project with the quiet\, supportive companionship of writers all over the world. We will convene using the video conference platform\, Zoom. Sessions will be recorded and links sent to all\, so if you can’t join live you can still participate. \nThe schedule for each session is: \n\nGuided mindfulness practice: 15 minutes\nJournaling exercise (“free writing”): 15 minutes\nWriting period: 80 minutes\nCheck-in and close: 10 minutes\n\nNo work will be shared during the class\, but the group will have a private forum on our site for anyone who would like to post their writing. \nOpen to writers of fiction\, non-fiction\, poetry\, screenplays\, and song—and anyone who would simply like to explore writing as a practice. \nSubsequent sessions will take place as follows: \nMarch 10   4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET (hosted by Kate)\nApril 13   6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (hosted by Susan)\nMay 11   4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET (hosted by Kate)\nJune 11    6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (hosted by Susan) \nThis program is for you if you are looking for some gentle accountability and dedicated time for your writing. \n\n\nThe cost is $15 per month. Once you register\, your account will be charged automatically every 30 days\, unless or until you cancel. (Please note: no partial refunds.)\n  \nFree for the Open Heart Project Sangha\n(Please click here to learn more about the Sangha.)\n\n  \nQuestions? Please email Michele.
