Authentic Inspiration: A Retreat for Writers

With Susan Piver

October 15 - 22, 2010

In addition to plenty of personal writing time, quiet, and the supportive (but non-intrusive!) presence of other writers, the program will include meditation instruction and practice and journaling exercises.

In the evenings, we will meet for moderated, friendly discussion of each other's writing.

Open to writers of fiction and non-fiction, published and unpublished. Bring your ideas, works-in-progress, or simply your wish to devote attention to your creativity.

Susan Piver is an authorized meditation instructor in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage and the New York Times best selling author of five books, including the award-winning "How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life" (St. Martin's Press 2007) and the upcoming The Wisdom of a Broken Heart (Simon & Schuster, 2010) She has been practicing meditation for over ten years.

"Susan is a skillful and inspiring ally, a generous presence, and a phenomenal teacher."
