February 3
CANCELED
It was beginning winter
An in-between time,
The landscape still partly brown;
The bones of weeds kept swinging in the wind,
Above the blue snow...

Writing As A Wisdom Project will NOT meet on Saturday February 3.
Our next meeting will be the spring offering, a full day on May 11.
Combining meditation in the Zen tradition with the practice of imaginative writing, Writing As A Wisdom Project invites intimate and creative study of the mind. Engaging playfully with language, we write together from prompts and read aloud, listen, and respond to one another’s words. Our writings and responses are explorations, and our conversations are based in imaginative insight rather than craft or critique. The day is appropriate for participants at any level of literary or meditation experience. Meditation guidance will be offered as needed.
Please bring paper and pens, even if you are accustomed to composing on a keyboard. Please arrive by 9:15 to get settled, so that we can begin promptly at 9:30. We will share lunch and everyone is encouraged to bring something (vegetarian) to share with others.
A contribution of $20 is suggested. Any donation is welcome but not required.
