Writing as a Reflective Practice: Making Meaning and Minding the Mystery
When we position writing as a reflective practice, we cultivate a space for contemplation and discovery where we can listen more deeply to the “still, small voice within,” seeking to learn and make meaning from what we find in the process.
This workshop offers an invitation to use writing in just this way—as a means of reflecting into our experience, an instrument for tapping into the wilderness of our imaginations, and a tool for connecting the myriad and often mysterious strands of our inner and outer worlds. Writing as a reflective practice helps us to explore these worlds and make our discoveries more legible so we can return, reconsider, reshape, and refine them as a means of continued engagement with an evolving and more integrated sense of ourselves.
In tending to a space that honors our writing as a practice, we join a long and rich history that spans both sacred and secular traditions, connecting us to readers, writers, thinkers, artists, and dreamers from across the centuries. And when we engage with this practice together, we build meaningful relationships and nourish authentic community through deep listening, openness, and trust.
