Writing from Presence

Winter, with its serene stillness and enveloping darkness, invites us into a deep space of introspection and creativity. Join us for a weekend retreat where meditation meets the practice of writing, guided by author and spiritual teacher Caverly Morgan.

Imagine crisp mountain air, snow-draped trees, and quiet fields stretching beneath wintry skies as the backdrop for delving into contemplative writing practices that transcend conventional boundaries. Experience the profound support of channeling what lies beyond the ego, inviting it gently onto the page. Together, we’ll drop into deep listening and explore the boundless landscape of creative expression.

This retreat isn’t about producing a finished piece; it’s about journeying beneath the conditioned mind and attuning to the voice that emerges from the depths of your being—from the depths of presence. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or simply curious about putting pen to paper, you’ll find an evocative invitation to explore this open and mysterious landscape. Through meditation and periods of silence, you’ll be supported in allowing creativity to flow freely and authentically.

This retreat will include:

Meditation
Writing exercises/prompts that support cultivating a relationship with spirit/the divine
Silent time to explore what’s beyond the “rules” of conditioned writing structure
Support in channeling what’s beyond the ego, inviting it onto the page
Relational (social) Dharma practice that supports us in recognizing what veils truth
Time for solitude
The backdrop of this retreat will be a hybrid of silence and relational (social) time.

Program Perquisites: Recommended but not required, is reading Caverly’s book, The Heart of Who We Are:Realizing Freedom Together.

We look forward to welcoming you into this meditative weekend of winter beauty, deep listening and writing from presence.
