Breath, Heart, Story: Creativity from Within - Meditation and Writing

Creativity is intelligence having fun. In this workshop, we test this idea by weaving practices of creative expression - meditation, journaling, creative writing - as vehicles to explore emotions & experiences as honorable and to practice holding space for them with curiosity, compassion, and humor.

Each workshop is designed around a meaningful theme - beauty, generosity, resilience, love, gratitude. We will investigate these themes on the cushion, the blank page, in our body and heart, and with each other.

Inspired by this theme and how it shows up in our life, we will devote some time to generate original writing in the form of stories.

Wilhelm will guide us through a few meditative experiences to kickstart the journaling and writing process. These will focus on finding sensory and emotional gateways which naturally lead to our meditative space. In reflecting on what arises from within, we will then be invited to address these experiences in writing.

Marika will offer several prompts and techniques to guide journalling and creative writing. She will share poetry and meaningful quotes to inspire our own writing flow in the direction of story. In Marika’s portion of the workshop, you will also generate new writing, and share it in a safe and lighthearted way.

Please bring a yoga mat, a blanket or cushion, and your medium for writing.
