Wintering: A Writing Group

Six weekly sessions that weave generative writing with group discussion and mindfulness practices. We'll play with ideas from Maggie Rogers lyrics, draw inspiration from a cookbook introduction by a Chicago chef, and discuss On Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity by Ellen Langer. Come together this winter with a vibrant writing community from around the country.

Open to writers of all levels.

TESTIMONIALS

It's an honor for me that you're teaching this work. When you study with me, you are very determined. You take everything in. I sense you are a very good teacher. - Natalie Goldberg

Sarah offers an extremely safe space for both the seasoned and the novice writer. Her inspirational prompts encourage us to explore our depth through writing. I am often surprised with what I discover when I pull away the layers. - Mike Cooper

Sarah’s class has sparked a shift for me as a business/marketing writer and has opened up a less controlled world of creativity that I can fully explore. I can’t wait to see where the next class takes me in this rewarding exploration. - Sheila Rittenberg

SIT, WALK, WRITE

SIT, WALK, WRITE

Writing is an act of deep observation in the world. The smell in the air at the change of seasons. The mind’s idiosyncrasies. Timeless gesture. When combined, meditation, slow walking, and writing serve as a virtuous feedback loop. Each practice calls forth an awakening to the moment. An image you receive during slow walking finds its way into a poem you write later that day. Insight gleaned in sitting meditation becomes fodder for your memoir.

This fall, spend a day with teacher Sarah Sennott Cyr learning tools to cultivate a mindful writing practice. All experience levels welcome. Bring fast writing pens and notebooks.

"Writing is a path to meet ourselves." - Natalie Goldberg
