What words or message might be bubbling up inside you? What would you like to bring to voice? Whether or not your writing path is clear, you are invited to join a class community in which you can develop ideas, skills, and creativity. Each week we begin with an in-class writing exercise. Then we present the work we have done at home: whimsical or serious prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, memoir, essay. All are welcome. Finally, we follow a safe critique process that offers supportive feedback and encourages us to HAVE FUN WRITING! 

Haiku, a simple three-line form rooted in Japanese tradition, and Qigong, an ancient healing practice grounded in Chinese Medicine, bring you to a peaceful place within where you can more deeply experience the wonders of the world around you. They transform the way you see and feel life and help you discover the extraordinary in the ordinary. Learn about haiku and how to open to the gift of “haiku moments” in your life. Experience simple Qigong practices to stimulate your creative juices. Then, through guided writing practice, let the inspiration of haiku and Qigong flow through you as you write your story – your here-and-now experience of and response to the ever-evolving adventure of your life. No Qigong or writing experience needed.
