SUMMARY:JUST WRITE Drop-In with Jill Morris
DESCRIPTION:Jill Morris will host a ‘just write’ drop-in weekly. The drop-in will consist of independent silent writing with a well-earned coffee/tea break. We all know that the greatest challenge to completing a memoir is the ability to sit down and just write\, the same way we brush our teeth daily. \n‘Just Write’ drop-ins offer the crucial components to achieve completion: support and accountability\, where you can set a page limit for yourself weekly. \nSome of you may be new to writing\, others may be more experienced. What you’ll have in common is the desire to write your life story and offer one another a supportive writing community. \nJUST WRITE Drop-In with Jill Morris \nFridays Feb 7- March 14 from 2:30 – 4:30 pm\n$20 or $15 members.\nDrop in.\nYou may prepay below for one or more drop-in sessions. \n  \nFor more info about Jill Morris\, visit her website: yourlifeyourwords.com\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Seeing Through a Different Lens – Wabi Sabi for Writers\, Artists\, and Other Creatives  with Catherine Flaxman
DESCRIPTION:“We learn nothing from the things we know.”  John Cage \nWabi-Sabi focuses on the wisdom of Nature\, sensory experience\, intuition and an appreciation of the evanescence of life.  Wabi Sabi perspectives remind us that all things are imperfect\, impermanent\, flawed and incomplete.  Just like we are! \nBring your iPad\, your notepad\, your sketch pad\, journal\, poetry\, art supplies (and your lunch).   \nWhatever your medium\, we will draw on Wabi-Sabi perspectives\, mindfulness practices and evocative prompts to: \nTap into creativity\, hear the whispers of the muse\, explore the wisdom of impermanence\, step back from perfectionism and critical self-thoughts\, and open to new ways of seeing\, perceiving\, writing\, creating and being.   \nNo prior meditation experience necessary.  \nQuestions:   \nEmail: catherine@catherineflaxman.com \nCall: 415-389-8633. \nSeptember 22\, 2024 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.in the O’Hanlon Gallery \n$75 | OHCA Members $6010 Max participants \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Catherine \nCatherine Flaxman\, M.A.\, M.F.T.\, is a psychotherapist\, writer\, screenwriter and meditation teacher.
