Rescheduled from October 26
“We live permanently in the recurrence of our own stories, whatever story we tell.” — Divisadero, Michael Ondaatje
Our next gathering of Writing As A Wisdom Project will be on Saturday November 16, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Please welcome the ghostly season by joining us in Greenfield for fruitful silence and generative play.
Space will be limited so please do register soon if you would like to attend. Leave a comment here, or email Catherine at neighborhoodzen@gmail.com, to register.
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 8:45 to get settled, so that we can begin promptly at 9:00. We will share lunch and everyone is encouraged to bring something (vegetarian) to share with others.
A contribution of $25 is suggested. Any donation is welcome but not required.
