The Yoga of Writing: A Women's Meditation & Writing Retreat
May 29 to May 31
Sedona: May 29 - 31 & October 2 - 4
Writing comes as a practice, as a form of meditation, and when the writer disappears in her writings the creative self is revealed. These moments of creativity are a door to the infinite.
Writing practice leads to a profound experience of timelessness and present moment awareness - a single moment of inspiration can become an eternity. That is also true of the art of meditation.
Both writing and meditation can lead to the disappearance of the ego and the disappearance of the mind. For those who undertake meditation, life is transformed physically, spiritually, and emotionally. What is left is the song of the soul. And that is where we start.
Offered in Sedona's Oak Creek Canyon in the spring and fall:
Friday - Sunday May 29 - 31
& October 2 - 4, 2009
Retreat Hours: Friday 4 pm – 9 pm, Saturday 9 am – 5:30 pm, Sunday 9 am – 11: 30 am.
