A growing body of research tells us that a mindfulness practice makes people feel more creative--but why? What is it about the practical art of present-moment awareness that makes people feel more compassionately, alertly, and creatively engaged with the world around them? And what are ways that writing itself can also support this engagement with the present moment? In this workshop, we will embrace mindfulness as a practice that can foster focus, flow, and a deeper connection with creative projects. Through guided meditations and prompted writing exercises, we'll discover a toolkit of skills and practices that participants can take with them and incorporate into their routines.
Location: In-person at The Porch HQ in Nashville
Fee: $54 (or $63 for Porch members)
