This is your invitation to a peaceful evening exploring the very Heart of Writing. Here we discover that writing doesn’t have to be a struggle - it’s possible with practice to let writing flow naturally from the heart. Over the past five years of practicing in online groups, we’ve discovered the combining heart meditations with space for free writing has helped many people to rediscover their natural writing voice and develop their writing skills in the most wonderful ways. The practice is simple, effective and light-hearted.
Everyone is welcome, whether you write poetry or prose, emails or shopping lists, writing can be a beautiful practice for yourself and, if you feel to share, a gift for others.
Spaces are limited and advanced booking is highly recommended. This event is offered by donation to make it accessible to all, with proceeds supporting the charity work of the Heart Of Living Yoga Foundation. You can scroll down to find the booking form.
“By using words well [writers] strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”
~ Ursula K. Le Guin

We are especially grateful as it turns out booking a room with less than a month’s notice in Cambridge isn’t that easy. Nati, one of our writing facilitators, is a resident of Brandon Court.
