Location: Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health

Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health offers such a wealth of workshops every week. I have always been in awe of their programming, bringing people from around the world to their beautiful campus in the Berkshires in Lennox, Massachusetts. It’s hard for me to describe what it feels like to be teaching there for the second time, but I should be able to because I’m a writer! It’s exciting, challenging, and daunting, but ultimately delightful and rewarding. Please join me for this class I devised from my own experiences using the principles of Ayurveda to help me become a better writer. (this method will also become a book!) May 8- 10 are the dates. Mother’s Day weekend and my 63rd birthday as well. Let’s celebrate it all together. Take a look at the program and all the Kripalu has to offer.

Allow Prana and Creativity to Flow with Ease
This unique program brings together several modalities to take your writing practice to the next level. In writing her three books, Susan Weis-Bohlen discovered how Ayurveda affected her work at nearly every step, inspiring her to create this program. Through Vedic meditation practices, writing exercises to balance and harmonize your unique mind-body constitution, Vastu Shastra (Vedic Feng Shui) for your writing space, the food you eat, and even the time of day you write—all are connected to your Ayurvedic dosha. To help you establish a clear, easy routine, we’ll use Ayurvedic guidelines to encourage and support your creativity and writing. There is no one process that works for everyone—let’s find what works best for you.
The Embodied Writing Method is enhanced by aromatherapy, mindful movement, guided meditation, time in nature, and breathwork to ignite your imagination, quiet the inner critic, and open the channels to allow the prana to flow. We will write, share, and offer feedback that is positive, encouraging, and supportive. Craft tools will be discussed to help you reach the next level, if you wish.
