Writing Together

This session explores how words define our world and often suppress our view. Once we settle in, the leader will share with participants a reading on the word "before" and how she discovered the limits of this word in her world and share with participants the process of mindful writing. The session then begins with silent readings from our favorite books on mindfulness. Bring your own, or borrow one from the leader's library. Next, find a reading to help open your space and support your ability to meditate on your writing. Open your journal, find a word to reframe, and write.
It is recommended that participants bring a journal and favorite writing instrument for freelance writing, as computers often block our ability to focus on mindful writing. There is plenty of time for word and grammar checks later!
