Mindful Mornings: Ground, Path, Fruition

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings: Aug 12-14

if you registered for the full virtual or in person retreat, this is already included. This registration is for "a la carte" / this workshop only. 

8:45 AM – Mindful Mornings: Ground, Path, Fruition with Lisa Freedman

Begin each day of the retreat with meditation and freewriting guided by Lisa Freedman. On Tuesday, we arrive and tune into our intentions for the next few days. On Wednesday, we root into where we find ourselves now and what’s coming up in our writing and creativity. On Thursday, we turn our attention toward harvesting the tangible and intangible fruits we will be taking home. All welcome. No experience with meditation or freewriting needed.

Here’s how each session flows:

• We gather

• Lisa welcomes us and guides us into our bodies to notice the breath

• We meditate, resting our attention on the breath

• Lisa presents a quote or a poem as a freewrite prompt

• We freewrite off the prompt for a timed period

• We have chances to share what we have written  

• We return to the open space of silence to close, if time permits

Ease into the retreat with a grounding meditation designed to awaken creativity and presence.
