| | Natalie Goldberg’s book Writing Down the Bones not only sold over a million copies, it also launched a revolution in the way people practice writing today. Spend a weekend with this talented author and teacher, exploring what it means to remember and write about your own life.
Much of how we live is based on memory. This workshop examines how memories are called forth, and how thought forms the past. We’ll use this for the purpose of writing and for the study of memoir, calling up old shoes, past loves, the way the moon looked 20 years ago in Paris—or Newark. We will also do slow, meditative walking to help bring us into the present moment, which is the only place where we can find the past. In addition, we will do timed writing exercises in class and in small out-of-class groups, and practice short meditations. Come prepared to write and to listen deeply—to yourself and others.
