An East Bay Writing Workshop with Carolyn Foster
Seven Monday evenings: March 14, March 28, April 18, May 9, May 23, June 6, and June 27, 2005
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep!
"Across the Doorsill" - Jelalludin Rumi
If writing helps you make more conscious choices, stay connected to your
heart's wisdom, and express your authentic personal truths - in short, if
writing helps you wake up and stay awake - this workshop offers a way to
join others in intentional creative practice this spring.
We will open each meeting with a brief period of contemplative silence and
alternate freewriting warm-ups from topics and themes provided by the
facilitator with opportunities to read our work and to give and receive
constructive feedback. By anchoring each meeting with silence, we will
settle more deeply into our own voices, and by reading our work, we will
become a community of support for one another's artistic development. As
Rumi also writes, "Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of
what you really love."
Facilitated by: Coach and author Carolyn Foster, M.A., has taught inner-directed, publishing-oriented, and scholarly approaches to writing for over fifteen years and is the author of the national bestseller, The Family Patterns Workbook.
