Ready for a new season of storytelling? Write Your Way: A Mindful Writing Workshop at the CFPL invites you to spark the kind of curiosity that leads to creativity in the flow state. We’ll read passages from mindful poetry and prose, examine what prompts us to choose particular writing topics, and discuss what we’re hoping to elucidate on the page. These Mindful Writing sessions include simple experiential practices that help writers discern the purpose behind the passion, bringing greater ease to our creative experiences. Please bring 1-2 opening pages of your current writing project or a one-page excerpt from a book that inspires you!

Led by Lara Wilson, MA, master writing teacher, mindfulness educator and founder of Mondiwell in Concord.

Join us for a NEW practice at Mango Bay Equestrian, Meditate to Connect. We’ll begin in MEB’s quiet indoor space to try simple meditation practices that settle the nervous system and enhance relaxation. Discover how the body and mind naturally reclaim a state of balance through compassionate attention, gentle movement and relative stillness. Then, we’ll head outside to explore from the fence line how horses respond to this state of ease in ways that deepen a sense of well-being.  

Sunday, November 2 at 1:00 – 2:30pm

I close my eyes and listen to the voices of the rain

by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Even a wounded world is feeding us.

Even a wounded world holds us, giving us

moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy

over despair. Not because I have my head 

in the sand, but because joy 

is what the Earth gives me 

daily and I must return the gift.

from Vox Populi
