The Center for Mindful Living

This contemplative writing group will focus on the voices of women mystics, poets, and sages throughout the ages as a means of connecting with our own inner wisdom.

In this eight-week series, we invite the divine inspiration of women mystics from the traditions of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and western mysticism to wash over us and help us connect to something deeper in ourselves. What does it mean, in this modern age, to be inspired by the unknown? Whether we claim a faith tradition or not, these whispers can help ignite our own wisdom.

Each session, we’ll use gentle guided meditation, quiet inquiry and contemplation, followed by personal writing and journaling, to allow the deepest part of ourselves to speak. We’ll then gather together to share our gifts of wisdom with one another through the process of Sacred Witnessing.

Here’s what previous participants have to say:

“I really didn’t know what to expect, but this was exactly what I needed. Loved the mix of mindfulness, writing and sharing.”

“I truly enjoyed this class. The space we created together was very rich and gave me lots to build on. Your guidance was warm, insightful, and skilled.

“I’ve done quite a bit of guided meditation over the years and Louisa is the very best at this. Thank you so much, Louisa!”

“This series of workshops was exactly what I needed to get through the last, cold dash of winter. It provided a weekly respite with like minds that included thoughtful reflection and insights.”

No prior experience with meditation or contemplative writing is needed. Please come as you are!
