Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this memoir writing class:

Those of us who are committed to spiritual growth often turn to the written page as a place for personal awakening. In dialogue with our writing self, we’re able to explore our deepest questions, investigate our darkest shadows, and articulate our boldest visions. 

In this transformational, one-day workshop for writers of all levels, students will learn to use writing as a path of insight and self-realization, This opens pathways to creativity, deepened relationships, and greater clarity on the path of everyday life. When used a wisdom practice, expressive writing can serve as your most trusted confidante, mindfulness teacher, and therapeutic guide, and is every bit as potent as meditation, yoga, or prayer.  

Known for his penetrating work with students, Matousek guides participants through a series of enlightening exercises in radical truth-telling and self-inquiry. The essence of his teaching is: When you tell the truth, your story changes. When your story changes, your life is transformed.

In this one day workshop, students will explore:
  • How to cultivate witness consciousness in writing
  • What it means to tell “the untold story”
  • The importance of exploring the personal shadow
  • How to using writing as a spiritual refuge
  • Practices for healing shame, guilt and fear
  • How to imbue personal narrative with spiritual wisdom
  • Exercises designed to illuminate purpose and meaning in everyday life
  • How to develop an ongoing, transformative writing practice
