Dear ,

 

I had a very different issue planned today, Epiphany, a favorite holiday of mine. But I have been riveted to the news for hours now and am too dismayed and saddened by what is happening in Washington right now to complete it. As I contemplated what on earth I could write in the state I'm in, I kept hearing the word "breach."

It's a word that carries much weight, many permutations. It's a word rife with conflict, full of repercussions—for groups, individuals, institutions . . . to heart, minds, bodies, spirits. Therefore, a good word for writing with. So I give it to you to use as a starter for writing. I hope you find it useful, whatever you choose for your writing subject.

May you stay safe and well. May you experience peace despite this chaos. May we all reach deep inside ourselves and find the best we have, and share it with each other.

Love and light,

Maureen

THE POWER OF INTENTION

As 2021 begins, what do you long for—for yourself, for others, for the world around you? Who would you love to be? What would you love to create?

The words we choose, and use, not only have the power to heal, uplift, and transform, but also to bring new, life-giving habits, perspectives, and creations into being. At the onset of the new year ahead, give yourself the gift of exploring a smorgasbord of playful, profound writing tools and practices that will support, sustain, and empower your—mind, heart, body, and spirit—whatever dreams and goals you’d love to bring into being.

We’ll meet in community via Zoom for three (3) two-hour sessions of learning, writing, and sharing. We'll also take a peek at what hidden beliefs may be getting in our way.

The Zoom sessions will be from 2:00pm-4:00pm each of the three days:

• Sunday, January 10 from 2:00p-4:00pm,
• Wednesday, January 13 from 2:00pm-4:00pm
• Saturday, January 16 from 2:00pm-4:00pm

In between sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the tools and practices to discover which work best and provide the most value for you.

Tap into the power of intention as you learn to deliberately (and imaginatively) shape your best life, whatever the circumstances.
