Attend a relaxed gathering to write with others. While happiness may not be the goal here, you will likely be surprised by what you find yourself writing about.<b> Writing Practice</b> is inspired by an approach popularized by author and teacher Natalie Goldberg. It is a bit like taking a walk with your mind. No preparation or special experience is required. Various prompts will guide participants in timed writing sessions followed by periods of reading aloud. Please bring notebook and pen.</div>

The Fall 2014 / 4th season of expressive writing at the C.G. Jung Center has concluded. Watch for announcement about future offerings.<br />
<br />
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br />
<br />
"Write the whole truth about the life you know." These words by author Henry Miller describes the essence of the Sunday afternoon writing practice group.<br />
<br />
Writers write their truths in a supportive atmosphere using various prompts to initiate timed writing sessions. This approach is based on the methods of Natalie Goldberg, Pat Schneider, and Lawrence Spann.<br />
<br />
No previous experience is required. Bring a notebook and pen.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">The first contemplative writing retreat last Winter was a restful and creative afternoon for several of us who gathered at The Jung Center. I am hosting another chance to experience this practice, inspired by <i>The True Secret of Writing: Connecting Life with Language </i>(Natalie Goldberg).</span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I had the pleasure of participating in a "Writing Practice" retreat with Natalie Goldberg in 1991 after enjoying her first book, <i>Writing Down the Bones</i>. Following the workshop, I wrote with several others weekly for a year using the approach to self-expression through connecting with language and I incorporated writing practice into groups I facilitated as an art therapist.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The author is a longtime student of Zen, a practice that has informed her writing. Reading her books </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">inspired me to pursue an investigation of meditation practic</span>e through the last 20+ years. Her teaching method now integrates writing with silence, mindful sitting, mindful walking, reading aloud, and listening to others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sit for 10-20 minutes. Walk for 10 minutes. Write for 10-20 minutes </span><br />

Mo' Joe: The Anthology is a wonderful collection of over one hundred poems honoring the elusive Joe the Poet, a character who has evolved in the work of John Roche, editor of this publication available from <a href="http://www.beatlick.com/">Beatlick Press</a> <br />
<br />
<br />
Two of my poems are included:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
FORGETFUL JO (p. 73)<br />
<br />
Jo got lost<br />
She wandered, gathered, observed <br />
sweep, sweep, sweep<br />
away the veils, the chatter, the traffic<br />
Tie on dancing shoes<br />
move, move, move<br />
pedal, steer, drive<br />
Stop and sit, listen, look<br />
Jo took a breath and remembered<br />
who she was<br />
<br />
<br />
NEW JOE (p. 137)<br />
<br />
Joe imagines a better look for himself<br />
no more preppy school teacher<br />
wild artiste instead<br />
grow out shaggy hair, cultivate goatee, revise clothing<br />
order "Dancing with Wolves Shirt" from The J. Peterman<br />
Company catalog<br />
blousy and loose for thirty-nine dollars<br />
available in natural, light blue, and indigo<br />
like those worn by Byron, Wilde, or Tennyson<br />
one hundred percent Joe the Poet<br />
so fine with his icy blue eyes and indigo garb<br />
