Contemplative-Clinical Writing

Service Description

Based on the ancient practice of Scripto Divina (sacred writing). “The Buddhist scriptures tell us,’ Thou art the Buddha.’ The Christian traditions says, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.’ In the Hebrew Bible we find, ‘And after the fire there came the sound of a gentle breeze.’ This class will be based on modern adaptations of the ancient practice of Scripto Divina (sacred writing). The goal of the class will be to engage participants in their own creative writing that integrates both the contemplative and psychoanalytic dimensions of our work with patients. A significant portion of all 7 meetings will involve participants in the process of writing, led by guided exercises.
