Based on Basho's Journey to the Deep North, my writing practice group that uses creative writing to cultivate insight and perception. Exploring inner landscapes, this group provides an opportunity to practice creative self-inquiry. You don't need to be a writer to join this group. The pattern of the group is for a member to read his or her piece out loud and then the group helps him explore his work. We are looking to deepen understanding about the individual's questions as revealed in the work as well as tighten the writing. We are kind and gentle.

The Meditative Self-Inquiry group best represents my work. This gathering begins in silence and evolves into mindful dialogue. The inspiration for this group includes the Quaker meeting, Zen Buddhist meditation and insight oriented psychotherapy. After a period of silence during which members turn inward, I offer a brief commentary designed to inspire and encourage. Each individual has space to offer reflections and engage in inquiry. The ambiance in the group is sincere, kind and meditative. This group meets on the first Sunday of each month at 10 am. Donation requested. Contact me for an initial private consultation.
