The Interdependence Project Writing Group aspires to exist as a bridge between our meditation and writing practices. Our methodology is to just keep the pen moving -- a conscious engagement with writing, simply and beautifully, as process. Practice teaches us to separate creator from editor and allows us to explore the raw, fecund nature our first thoughts and spontaneity without judgment or expectation. Additionally, like meditation, our personal writing practice can serve as another means to explore our minds in an authentic, in-the-moment kind of way. Our meetings will serve as a supportive forum for writers and meditators to explore their personal creative processes, together. Our monthly, three-hour sessions will include sitting meditation, a variety of timed writing prompts and exercises, sharing our work. The second half of each monthly session will consist of a more formal critique of ongoing work that people desire feedback on.

Drop-ins are welcome, though ongoing attendance is encouraged. All levels/kinds of writing, experience, form, and genre are welcome.

People brand-new to meditation also welcome!
