The answers are already inside of you.

You only need to establish the presence and clarity to hear them.

The Practice is for anyone who wants to establish a regular ritual of self-inquiry and stillness. If you want to break through resistance, whether creatively or otherwise, establish a daily meditation and personal writing practice, or dance with creativity, this course is for you.

Course Overview

The Practice is a six-week course to establish a daily practice of personal inquiry and stillness through prompted writing and meditation. You'll be guided through five topics over six weeks. This is not a technical writing course. The writing we do is for personal inquiry only.

  • Great! This is not a technical writing course! The writing we do will be guided, personal journal-style writing meant for self-inquiry only. It will, however, support your writing, if you are working on a project.
