Join a community of fellow beings on the field of language and literature to share thoughts, speech, and acts of writing, exploring above and below the ground of common experience.These sessions are suitable for anyone with thirsty for connection beyond the mundane and the trivial. You don’t have to think of yourself as a writer to take part - while there will be writing exercises and opportunities to share and discuss outcomes and processes, there is no obligation to publicise your thoughts and feelings.It's a bit like yoga, stretching and flexing the mind, cultivating and challenging conceptual frameworks and encouraging ourselves and others to live happier, healthier lives. There's a satsang vibe. A communion of people from a variety of paths and backgrounds."I appreciate the framework of meetings, settling, landing in the space, each giving a word and then time to free write and get thoughts out onto paper and shared, spoken into the space. After that the meeting has a fairly wuwei feel, allowing for things to arise gently.The atmosphere is relaxed, respectful and generous, whilst we also have a good laugh. There is an amazing sense of connection in the meeting and of themes, circling, spiralling, evolving and returning. I would encourage anyone who journals or writes for self reflection to check out this group. "Course Participant" I have loved it! It’s been wonderful discovering a new space to explore and express. Sometimes I feel a little silly being there with all these academics and fantastic writers but I know that’s just my old ego getting in the way! It has taught me that writing is for everyone and I love the feeling of picking up the pen when my mind sometimes feels empty and seeing what comes from the depths of being.
