I have started a local in-person writing group and it has totally jump-started my writing. I have found that the every week writing opportunity is fantastic for actually sitting down to write and so I wanted to share a more spiritual-direction focused online writing community-based opportunity.
This is now offered online at your own pace.
You will need one book: Writing Toward Wholeness: Lessons Inspired by C. G. Jung by Susan M. Tiberian. No previous writing or knowledge of Jung needed, but if you are a devotee of Jung, this book allows you to engage personally with your past learning as well. Note that many contemporary spiritual writer insights are included in the book, including Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Annie Dillard, Thich Nhat Hanh, Maya Angelou and many more.
For each online sessions, plan on 60-90 minutes to allow ample time for writing. You are encouraged to participate with a buddy, with each of. you registering for the program.
- 15 minute presentation
- 50-60 minutes of silent writing
- 15 minutes to share any ahas through journaling or sharing with your writing buddy.
I find writing for yourself and just sharing verbally how the process went frees up our writing when we know we will not be required to share our first drafts on the spot!
If you are a current spiritual directee, you are welcome to bring your writing to our next session (and if you are not yet a regular spiritual directee of mine, you can schedule individual or sets of 5 sessions with me–at your convenience).
Please purchase the book Writing Toward Wholeness: Lessons Inspired by C. G. Jung by Susan M. Tiberian when you sign up and read through Chapter 1, page 35 or if a Kindle ebook, stop when you get to Chapter 2, Active Listening. I will also draw from several other books on writing the spiritual journey.
Cost for the series is $100 per participant and $50 if you are a current regular spiritual directee of mine. Email twinflowerpress@gmail.com to confirm (or ask questions) and I will send you an invoice (perhaps your professional development funds will cover this), and the password for the sessions. You have all of 2023 to complete it (and if you pay in 2024, you have all of 2024 to participate).
Feel free to pass on to any seekers who you would like to embark on this Spiritual Writing Journey together. Email twinflowerpress@gmail.com to confirm your participation.
