    Looking at your image in a clear stream, you answer the question by your very presence.

    In this workshop we will explore the connection between writing and meditation. We write and meditate on the many changes and transformations we experience as we journey along the river of our lives. We consider how creativity steadies the boat and how writing helps us dip the oars into dark water so we may navigate the river safely. Writing opens us to the moment. It’s as close as pulse and breath. Come and magnify your sense of aliveness and presence in this safe space.

    dorian haarhof 2019Some record only what has happened to them; but others record how they happened to the universe - Henry David Thoreau

    The word ‘journal’ comes from Old French, ‘day’. So it is our daily encounter with ourselves through the mirror, lens and window of words and silence. ‘Journal’ echoes the word ‘journey’ as we travel through inner and outer landscapes.  In this retreat we write with the ear, eye and heart. This journal journey opens you to your creativity and imagination as you express your truths, reflect on your life and behold the window of the world with new eyes.
