Mindful Writing: A Circle for CNF Writers (creative nonfiction & memoir)

Long-form writing projects take discipline, rigour, research, and stamina, driven by a brilliant mind that can shape what is often heavy material into a meaningful and enriching narrative. But we also have to tend to other parts of ourselves, beyond the hard working mind. This is a circle for creative non-fiction writers and memoirists who are well underway with a book-length project who are seeking a space in which to explore and learn from their inner world and subtle somatic experiencing. We will meet in a small group to practice presence and self-compassion through short meditations, heart-centred accountability, and “mindful reading,” interspersed with 20-minute body-centred writing sessions to reinvigorate our creative practice and the larger projects we are pursuing.

Max # of participants: 6

Date/time: 4th Wednesday at 7:00 pm
