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.

For anyone who has broken through a creative block to become a more powerful writer and more complete person, my blog will resonate.

Happy reading!
