Meditative Writing: A Listening Practice

In meditative writing, we simply listen. We follow our thought with a pen in our hand, alert and curious. We observe the activity, the busy-ness, the diversions of our minds, noticing the opinions we have about our thought or emotion or body sensation and write those down as well.

A friend of mine says, “It’s like an off-leash park for my ADD.”

I will guide the group through a series of brief exercises and 10-minute writing periods, debriefing each and exploring how participants might use this practice on their own.

Our focus will be on the experience rather than the writing. Bring your favourite pen or pencil. Paper will be supplied.
