In meditation, we sit with what arises. Usually when we write, we have a purpose. In meditative writing, we simply listen. We follow our thought with a pen in our hand, alert and curious. We observe the activity of our minds, noticing opinions, emotions, body sensations, and write those down as well.

As a friend of mine says, “It’s like an off-leash park for my ADD.”

I will guide the group through a series of brief exercises and 10-minute writing periods, debriefing each and exploring how participants might use this practice on their own.

Bring your favourite pen or pencil. Paper will be supplied.
