Meets monthly on the second Fridays | Free follow up – Friday, May 27 ⋅ 4:00 – 6:00pm, monthly on the fourth Fridays.

In these times of great change we will explore a path toward meeting ourselves where we are to give voice to all that matters! As we live with interruptions and chaos, we can deepen into the roots of our creativity, encouraging the river of expression to flow. Beginners and seasoned writers are welcome, as we explore various forms of writing: poetry, prose, short stories, memoir, among others. Through writing exercises using everyday life, place, family, images, poetry of others, while using pranayama, meditation and the guidance of the Sutras we will build a body of work. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace.

  • Tools we will Practice
  • The Art of Paying Attention
  • Acceptance
  • Play
  • Writing from the Heart

Together we will combine self-care with our writing and discover what a writing practice means to us and how it may take shape.

About David Doyle

At the age of 17 David embarked on the study of eastern teachings and soon found the Way of traditional Yoga. His practice began initially in Hatha Yoga and then moved to Raja Yoga. His practice inclined toward long meditation (sometimes 18 hours in a single sitting) and opened many siddhis and extraordinary experiences, however these were not goals; they were merely byproducts along the Way. In the 50+ years hence, his practice has taken many forms, though Yoga never left him.
In 2012, during many months of sustained inner work and 3-6+ hour meditations in the evening and early morning hours, the seeker fell away. In the following years of abiding Awakening a great deal of astonishing changes have continued on a daily basis. The unfolding has not ceased though a settling has taken place.
For quite some time words did not come easily and teaching had not yet come – it is only now emerging. David enjoys speaking about the basics of Practice on ‘The Way’, the foundation of all deeper transformation. David is also a Qi Gong Master, teacher, and Deputy Director of the US Regional Department of Shaolin Fohanmen. Monkwithfamily.org, Shaolinmaster.org
