Just This: The Art of Zen and Writing
Join Amy Hollowell for a week of exploring Zen practice and the art of writing, discovering the depth, lightness and impermanence of the present moment. Taught in French. No translation.
A writing retreat for all
Zen practice invites us to cultivate an open mind that includes all and excludes nothing, here and now, in the heart of our life. This openness allows us to experience things as they are, in all their fullness, and brings us to discover our own innate creativity.
This is where the Zen art of writing arises naturally, in the heart of the present moment.
In this weeklong program, through the foundation of meditation and a variety of writing propositions and readings, we explore the essential quality of ever-changing moment-to-moment presence and the expression of it in words.
No previous writing or meditation experience is required.
Programme
Each day includes collective meditation and writing sessions, as well as group discussions and sharing of writing. Weather permitting, there may be outdoor writing sessions and group hikes. All participants are offered the opportunity to meet individually with the teacher.
Please bring all necessarywriting materials.
