Albert Flynn DeSilver

August 7, 2021

11 am - 12:30 pm Mountain Time

Prices
  • Sliding Scale – $25.00 to $45.00

Join us for an inspiring 90-minute class to reawaken and deepen your creativity and spiritual connection through writing. The writing session will include dynamic meditations, innovative writing exercises, and fun movement experiences, all designed to open you up to your true creative nature! In this extraordinary workshop, you will experience:

  • Time to write and to explore a deeper level of personal creativity.
  • Creative wisdom, insight, and peace of mind and heart.
  • Meaningful connection and support in creative community.

The practice of writing is an exploration of consciousness, a practice toward deeper self-awareness that moves us along the path of awakening to our true nature. Many of our greatest spiritual teachers from around the world were, and are, writers. From Sappho in the 7th century BCE to Pema Chödrön, from Rumi in the 13th century to Thomas Merton, Jack Kornfield, and the Dalai Lama—the written word has the power not only to inspire, but also to awaken the very best in the human heart.
