Fall Writing and Photography Classes

I am teaching ongoing Contemplative Writing classes (including a September weekend retreat in southwestern WI for current students only) at the Madison Shambhala Center. Contemplative Writing - inspired by the teachings of Natalie Goldberg which combine Zen Buddhism and writing in a single practice - is a highly personal practice, done in small groups, encouraging writers and "non-writers" alike to work more directly with the creative process and find it less intimidating and more inspiring.

Registration fills up quickly, but class times I hold are:
Tuesday 6:30, Wednesday 9am, Thursday 4:30 and Thursday 7:30. If you are interested, please contact me and we'll see what class we can get you into next.



More than just a "spiritual journaling class", Contemplative Writing is a formal practice which can be useful for writers of any ilk. For further information or to register, please contact Miriam over phone or email: 608-217-2132, herspiral@yahoo.com.


Also, I will be teaching a short program on Introductory Miksang (Contemplative Photography) the weekend of Sept 14-15 (7-9 on Friday, 9-5 on Saturday). The cost is 50$, 40$ for Shambhala members. Location TBA. For more information on Miksang, please visit www.miksang.org. For more information on this or other Miksang classes, please contact Miriam Hall.
