Living in the Layers: Mindfulness and Writing (Virtual)

"Live in the layers, not on the litter," Stanley Kunitz writes. Through cultivating a practice of mindful writing, we can bring greater curiosity to the layers of our lives and more vivid, compelling, and powerful writing to the page. Writing can be its own path to mindfulness, training us to open our peripheral vision wider as we learn to listen to and glimpse what wants to be said. We'll engage in some short writing and meditation exercises, and we'll talk about writing to grow our freedom, gratitude, courage, and resilience.
