A Writer's Retreat
May 11-16, 2008 (5 nights, Sun - Fri)
with Susan Piver
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health
in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts
What do writers want more than anything in the world? Time to write! Yet, even when precious time can be found, it's not always easy to settle into the writing groove. Yoga and meditation can help synchronize the mind and body in a way that truly supports the creative process.
The focus of this week is on having plenty of personal time to write. To support our writing, there will be meditation instruction and practice, and you are encouraged to attend one of the Kripalu Yoga classes offered each day. There will also be opportunities to read and discuss your work. Guiding and weaving the week are award-winning writing teacher Sanford Kaye, who teaches at both Harvard and Curry College, and Buddhist meditation teacher and best-selling author Susan Piver.
The retreat-like atmosphere at Kripalu offers a peaceful and supportive setting for a writing retreat. No previous experience in yoga or meditation is necessary. The retreat is open to dedicated writers of fiction and nonfiction, published and unpublished.
Susan Piver is an authorized meditation instructor in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage and the New York Times best-selling author of The Hard Questions series. She has practiced meditation for more than 10 years. Her most recent book is How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life.
