WILD WISDOM WRITING CIRCLE(FOR WOMEN WRITERS AGES 60+)
A collaboration with the International Women’s Writing Guild
After we turn 60, a kind of alchemy begins stirring in our hearts and bones. Although we may have felt “old” before, our relationship to aging becomes more real and undeniable. It’s a time of great changes and great challenges, but along with the losses and physical wake-up calls comes an extraordinary opportunity for growth. For women, this can be an especially liberating time, as we shed our need to please others and claim our time for ourselves to create the life we want to live. For writers, it’s a chance to gather our life onto the page and let it rip - writing wild and true about where we’ve been and where we are now. The Wild Wisdom Writing Circle will meet twice a month. There will be prompts and exercises to generate material, an opportunity to share in small groups and lively discussions of writing wild and wise in your 60’s and beyond. Session A: Tuesdays from 1:00 - 3:00 EST every 2 weeks for nine weeks: April 13, April 27, May 11, May 25, June 8 SOLD OUT Session B: Tuesdays from 1:00 - 3:00 EST every 2 weeks for nine weeks: April 15, April 29, May 13, May 27, June 10 SOLD OUT |

WRITING YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEYMany of us have been seekers all our lives, travelers on a spiritual journey. The story of that journey is no small thing. It is a tale of healing, joy, pain and transcendence. And writing it can be an act of discovery, a way of illuminating and understanding yourself and the sacred world in a deeper way.
In this afternoon workshop, author Janice Gary will provide writing prompts and bursts of generative exercises to help you trace the arc of your spiritual journey from your religious training (confirmation, bar mitzvah, meditation, etc.) to private moments of awe, wonder, desperation and healing. You’ll come away with plenty of material to generate essays, poems, blog posts or the ultimate travelogue – a spiritual memoir. |
NOTE: The workshop is being offered free of charge as a gift for writers. I am also using this occasion to help support Unity of the Keys Spiritual Center for those who wish to make a voluntary love offering after the workshop. Contact will be provided after the workshop for those who would like to contribute.
