Embody the Flow
Body, Mind, Spirit & Pen
High Sierra Institute at Baker Station
August 15th-17th 2008

This two and half day workshop will explore the commonalities between yoga and creative writing practice. Patricia Harrelson and Sherie Newman will guide participants in moving between freeing the writer’s voice and quieting the mind by focusing on the body. Participants will focus on the process and the flow rather than on achieving a “perfect” pose or piece of writing. We will walk in the woods with pen, notebook and mat, stopping in woodland meadows, on granite slabs of rock, and beside surging rivers to practice asanas and breathing intermixed with focused and free writing. Breathe in ; breathe out. Circular and continuous is the process. Open to the flow..
