Synopsis:
Want to write the novel of your dreams, a memoir, poetry or screenplay that’s inside you waiting to find some form of expression. In this Mindfulness Writing Session, you will learn some specific techniques to bring your unique creative voice and story to life on the page. We will provide ways to help you break through writer’s block and procrastination, and generate new ideas for your writing. You will experience unique mindfulness meditations and exercises that will help quieten your inner critic and enable your authentic creative voice to bloom. There will be opportunities for you to meditate, write and get responses on your writing. Responses to your writing will help you further develop something you’ve already started. As Maya Angelou wrote: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. Let’s help you release that story. 
This session is suitable for writers who are stuck and wanting to find fresh ways to jump start the writing process.
