Description

Pay What You Can with suggested contribution of $5-$10. You have the option to enter any amount when you register.

 

A new bi-weekly drop-in group for contemplative practice with writing. It begins with a short 5 minute seated silent meditation before group members share poetry or other readings. This is followed by a group discussion and journal writing.

 

Everyone is welcome to bring a piece of poetry or other short reading to share (optional, can be your own work or other source). We will discuss our selections and typically finish with a short 15-20 minute journaling exercise. At each event the the host/group may decide to focus more on a particular reading or various journaling prompts and sharing of writing completed during the session.

 

We will serve tea or you can bring your own beverage. You are encouraged to bring along a journal or device to write with although journaling is optional if you wish to participate only in the discussions. The seating stye is a cafe set up with bistro tables and cushioned chairs. 

 

This group will occur every second Monday evening from October 13-25. Group members will take turns hosting and having something prepared to share with the group for a reading and a journaling exercise.
