Writing Down the Practice 

12-week Mindfulness Writing KM Group

Art, Meditation and Creative Writing » Norton Simon Museum

When: Starting Sept. 30

Frequency: Every other week

Day/Time: Mondays, 5:30-6:30pm

Where: UU Parlor Room

You must register to attend this event. Registration is free but you have the option to donate to help sustain IMCC and keep our programs accessible.


What:

The intention of this group is to explore writing as a mindfulness practice, using Natalie Goldberg's classic Writing Down the Bones as a guide. Each time we meet, we'll practice together with 10-minute exercises, sharing, and meditation. 

Participation is open to 6-8 people. You don't have to be a creative writer or have the book or anything else to participate. We'll just ask that you bring a pen and a simple notebook to each session.

At the end of the 12 weeks, we'll evaluate where we are and decide together our next steps.
