Announcing a new Everyday Buddhism feature for the
Membership Community: A lecture series/workshop on mindful
writing!
In this series I hope to introduce you to a new way of
practicing mindfulness through writing. As Gary Snyder
wrote, meditation can put you totally into the world even as it
takes you out of it. Mindfulness and meditation are practices of
deliberate attention that can create a spacious awareness of what
is and help us escape the narrow box in our heads where the thinker
lives. Focusing in on what is at any one moment doesn’t narrow our
awareness but, instead, opens us up to what is outside our concepts
of self and what we ‘think’ we are seeing.
This will not be ‘writing course’ but a practice of engaged seeing, hearing, and feeling with the objective of capturing moments and expressing them through writing. This does not mean you need to be a poet, nor a writer.
If you would like to join the Everyday Buddhism Membership Community and continue your participation in this virtual workshop on mindful writing, you can do so at this link:
