Ocean Retreat… or how I became alive through drowning

I went from meditation drop-out to meditative writer, then wrote Breathing Underwater, a manual for self-guided meditative writing I came upon this blog that I wrote years ago about working with my manuscript of meditative poems. The poems charted my journey on a five minutes a day forty-day retreat into the ocean, which changed my life. I drafted the story of my ocean retreat into meditative writing manual with the working title Breathing Underwater. I am now using that manual to teach Ocean Writing workshops. The next starts 24 July.

War on the horizon. Chickpeas, peanut butter, and wine in the cupboard.

The headline pops up on my phone, white letters in a red rectangle: fare for atomkrig …A forecast for nuclear war, like a weather warning, like the category two hurricane they gave us a two-day notice of last month. Another headline tells me there are 128 fallout shelters on the…

I saw an amazing report on the news last night about an incident in Afghanistan. The report by Norwegian journalist Yama Wolasmal was shocking and inspiring. It is a clear demonstration of the need for good journalists, now more than ever, engaging in the public debate. I think this…
