VIRTUAL – Writing Your Story of Loss and Transformation
During this two-day virtual gathering, we will be exploring the transformational power of difficult passages, the sacred invitation to radical unknowing, and the soul’s longing to speak in her own voice. Mirabai will offer brief teachings on memoir, focusing on writing about and from grief and loss, and offer potent writing prompts. We will share our work in small groups and with the full circle. Expect to generate a large quantity of material in a short time, from which you will be able to do what Michelangelo said: I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
On Tuesday evening, halfway through our time together, we will have a special Meditation service.
