On Campus Program

The Stories We Carry Meditation and Writing

Presenter: Dani Shapiro

RELEASE RESISTANCE & FIND YOUR FLOW

We carry our stories inside us. Some stories are easier to tell than others. There are stories we polish into well-formed, amusing anecdotes, and others we bury deep until they rise up and take us by surprise. When we attempt to write these stories, we face our own resistance. One of the most powerful ways to plumb the depths of our resistance and self-censorship is to come to know our own bodies and minds, where these stories live.

Join best-selling author Dani Shapiro for an inspiring experience—her only in-person retreat this year—that stays with you long after the program ends.

Through a powerful blend of discussion, meditation, movement, and group sharing, you will:

Engage in generative writing exercises.
Explore courage, persistence, and patience.
Dive into your memory and produce new work.

Return home with a process for sustaining your writing practice in your everyday life.
