Celebrate the Spring Equinox: A Mindful Writing Workshop

Here in Philadelphia, this has been the coldest winter in my memory. And even though Punxsutawney Phil warned us we had six more weeks of winter weather, our days are getting longer. Spring is coming!

The beginning of each season offers us an opportunity to pause and reflect on where we are at in our lives and in our writing. The Spring Equinox brings us balance and begins a season of rebirth and renewal. A time to lift our heads toward the sunlight. A time to recommit to our writing practice.

Spend a couple hours connecting with your true creative self and with others through meditation, visualization, and NOW writing. Share your experiences and words in a safe, fun, supportive environment. Learn what mindfulness can bring to your writing practice and what writing can bring to your mindfulness practice. 

Be sure to have paper and pen to write by hand (if possible).

Testimonials

I love Susan’s classes! I have gained a sound foundation in the combination of meditation and writing. Workshops afford a unique broadening of perspective as I glimpse bits of life through the stories my classmates choose to write and to share.

Susan effortlessly creates an inclusive and inspiring online classroom that feels like a weekly bit of normalcy and connection in this disaggregated time.

Amy L., Cherry Hill, NJ

Susan’s writing classes (I’ve enrolled in several) have been transformational. I hadn’t been able to write regularly or successfully for years, and Susan’s deep knowledge of literature–and her experience with both the craft of writing and the practical details of the publishing world–have been incredibly helpful and inspiring.  Thanks to her course, and the supportive community it has created, I now have a regular writing practice, and have even submitted some pieces for publication, with more planned for the future. This course is the highlight of my week despite a busy work schedule.

Catherine W., Haddon Township, NJ

I participated in my first 6-week personal essay workshop with Susan over a year ago, and haven’t stopped since! Susan creates a vibe in the group that fosters positive and constructive feedback, and I’ve come away from each session with improvements in my own writing and inspiration from my fellow writers, now friends. I highly recommend for anyone with a story to tell — which is everyone!
