Body, Word, and the Writing Muse: An Encounter in Nature
With Author Paula Sager
Saturday August 2, 9:30am – 12:30pm
in the Sculpture Garden, Tiverton Four Corners
Join author Paula Sager for a writing workshop immersed in nature. Paula will interweave simple embodied and contemplative practices as she guides participants into and through a writing process.
Is there something you’re longing to write?
Is there something you’re already writing and you long to go deeper?
Do you have an intuitive sense that writing will support your longing to stay connected with an experience of losing a loved one?
In her book The Watch: Time to Witness the Beauty of It All, nature is both inspiration and witness to Paula’s experience of accompanying her father through illness. Nature continued to be a supportive presence after her father’s death and through her writing of the book.
Please bring a journal or notebook and your preferred writing utensils. Also, in relation to your longing to write, bring an object or photograph that has meaning for you.
