Mindfulness is a positive way of directing our attention toward life, wisdom, inter-relationships, and time, among so many other topics, and is gaining ground as an outlet for spiritual development. How might writing support and enhance mindfulness as a regular and rewarding daily practice? In this class, we will take a look at ways for re-thinking about daily writing as a spiritual process that can bring us closer to the natural world and promote creative positive images. A background understanding of Chinese poetry not a pre-requisite for this class.
This workshop needs at least 2 participants to run. If this number is not met, everyone registered will be given the option to receive a refund or put their class credit toward a future class of their choice.
