Yoga's principles and practices can deepen your writing process and enrich your writing style, heightening awareness of your writing faculties.
CENTER TO PAGE offers writers unique experiences. We focus on craft's heart and soul - the existential impulse to hone voice, form, story, and more. In addition to seminar discussions, study of recognized writers' works, and outdoor writing encounters, we also address core writing challenges such as facing our inner heckler and extending compassion to difficult characters. Body, breath, and yogic principles also are integrated into a dynamic, effective writing process to help us discover unexpected imagery and ideas, trust our own faculties, and connect with the physical environment that sustains our creativity. Compassion and truthfulness define each workshop's atmosphere. Whether an aspiring, veteran, or curious writer, you can move from your center to the page.
