“With readiness the door of the heart becomes the gate of heaven” —John O’Donohue
Often our most powerful writing is hidden deep in recesses of our heart. To access this writing, we need an opening that will let the writing spill out onto the page. Through stilling the mind, relaxing the body, and resting deep within, we’ll allow what wants to arise on the page, whether the writing is about joyful moments or those filled with loss, grief, or other challenges, for often these are the cracks that let the light in. We’ll share this writing in a supportive circle, listening with attentive ears to what rings true and what can be expressed in a fuller way. The retreat will offer a container to express yourself with awareness, depth, compassion, and courage, bringing forth writing in your truest voice.
