In our shared week, we’ll strive to step outside the rush of ordinary time to create together a space of inspiration and contemplation, exploring questions as old as human consciousness: What does it mean to live a worthwhile life? How do we live well knowing we will die? How can ancient teachings deepen and inform our understanding of the contemporary world? How might we hold onto an idea of the sacred in the face of widespread violence and suffering? For writers of all levels, of all spiritual traditions or none, this workshop will be a blend of close reading, open exchange, guided writing exercises, and discussions of how craft can help us embody and communicate even the most abstract ideas. While there will be opportunities to share drafts and receive feedback, this is primarily a generative workshop.
