This course is ideal for beginning writers in finding different ways to start their writing process using the techniques of meditation and movement, but all are welcome! Often our attention is pulled in many directions, and we are asked to be in many places at once. Using techniques of meditation and movement we will write from an embodied perspective which is a really creative place to write, and our writing can really develop and flourish. What is getting in the way of your writing? We will use movement to scan our body and focus on the question at hand. Has movement changed your perspective? Using discussion, reflection, movement, and poetry, participants will integrate the experience and reflect.
