Experience, Creativity & Dharma:
A day of creative writing and movement meditation
with Arisika Razak and Mushim Ikeda
Open to all
Sunday, November 19th, 2017 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
A fun and relaxing day of creative writing from your personal experience combined with gentle movement meditation to get everyone relaxed. Opportunities to share some of our writing with others and be received with the Dharmic qualities of compassion and loving kindness. Gentle movement meditation for all abilities and Dharma talks. No previous experience in movement or writing required. You’re invited to bring a non-scented object or an image that connects you to the body, your life experience, or the Dharma.
