Writing the Prayer of Your Life Weekly Workshops in Amherst

Fall series begins Wednesday, October 15

at the Synthesis Center, 274 North Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA

A different kind of writing program, where personal growth, spiritual evolution, and planetary healing are woven into the workshop

You'll grow as a writer and as a person, while restoring your relationship to living on the earth.

Writers and non-writers of all levels of experience are welcome.

You'll receive homework assignments to do every week, so you're engaged with the writing in between sessions. You'll also be paired with a spirit sister or brother to support you in between classes.

How will you be supported to grow and heal while writing?

By practicing Radical Self Love and Exquisite Self Care. This will be part of your homework each week! You'll learn to be as creative in your relationship with yourself as you are in your writing.

What else is special about this writing workshop?

Here are some of the elements of a Writing the Prayer of Your Life workshop:

Your Voice Matters

The core of the workshop is writing. Based on the Amherst Writers and Artists Writing Group method, you write in a way that encourages you to trust your own voice. If you've never written before, or if you've longed to write all your life, or if it's just been too long since you let yourself write, this group will offer you inspiration, encouragement, and a safe space to get the words flowing.

Writing the Body Home

Your body is where you live. It's also where you store your unspoken memories, dreams, and yearnings. They have lots to tell you, and listening to your body is one way to hear them. The body is important in this writing workshop.

So is the earth!! If you are alive today, you know the earth needs your help. Every person who becomes more conscious of how they walk on the earth helps the earth to heal. Healing the earth will be an element of our workshop. As each of us heals, we help the earth.

Writing the Prayer of Your Life is for people like you, who care deeply about the world but might be struggling with their own lives, and long for a way to touch the healing they know lies at the depth of their own souls.
