Please keep checking – Writing workshops for April TBA
This is a great workshop for aspiring memoirists—I’ll talk about Zen, tango, and the writing of my memoir.
The hands and feet are the body parts farthest from the heart, but they are as integral to mind as the brain or any other organ. Writing is as full-bodied as dancing tango.
How, then, does Zen practice inform your writing? My years of Zen meditation played a major role in my writing life—long before I wrote TANGO, helping me to untangle knots of confusion.
I will offer a writing workshop that explores how Zen—the meditation and the everyday living of it—weave with a heartfelt writing practice, just as tango dancing becomes a way to freedom in an arena of intimacy. If you have fear of writing, this is a safe haven for you. We’ll work together to help you through that constricting passage. We will also do exercises that focus the monkey mind. While I love Natalie Goldberg’s approach in Writing Down the Bones, my teaching method involves more than removing obstacles, but working with them. As we work on the craft as well as the art of writing, each one circles to a center and finds her/his writing niche.
