SOUL WRITING IMMERSION
Writing as Deep Play
Immerse yourself in meditation and generative writing practice.
Meditate. Freewrite. Read. Repeat.
This approach to writing draws on the mind of meditation to access the natural stream of your creative energy and on intuition to explore new areas that open up for you in the process. In an atmosphere of warmth and non-judgment, free of criticism, we will write together from evocative prompts and dive deep into what is calling for expression now, both creatively and spiritually.
A powerful practice of emergence for all levels of writers and meditators—the depth depends on your willingness to drop judgment, cultivate curiosity and enter into the unknown. Used regularly, this practice expands your ability to gain access to a deeper source of wisdom and clarity, loosening the grip of your critical mind so that expression can flow freely, which is one of the ultimate fruits of meditation.
A great way to re-inspire your practice if you've been at it for a while, or be introduced to the work and to other soulful writers as you jumpstart your writing practice. Please bring a notebook and a pen (or laptop if you prefer to type). Space is limited to keep the group size intimate, so please register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
IMMERSION: Sliding scale - $95 - $80 - $60
Please choose an amount that is both generous and sustainable. Those with financial security, please pay at the top of the scale so I can keep the group size intimate.
TO REGISTER: Send me an email at the link below with "Deep Play" as the subject along with a little about your relationship to writing practice and meditation, what draws you to join at this time, and any questions you might have. This allows me to tailor the group to those attending. If the group is full, I will place you on the waiting list for the next session.

Weekend Solo Retreat
A supported, individualized retreat at the location of your choice.
A solo spiritual retreat at the location of your choice supports you in a self-directed process that is tailored to your needs.
Solo retreats minimize distraction and sharpen our ability to distinguish the ego's impulses from the spontaneous movements of the heart and soul. For less than the cost of a group retreat, you receive individualized attention, and you will have the time and space to digest and work with what you are learning. A powerful way to establish a new spiritual practice, deepen the work you've been doing in your daily practice, open up your creative expression, or make headway on a specific issue. I have done a great deal of solitary retreat, and engaging with this potent process can help you tune into a deeper place of inner knowing and self-trust so that you can open more fully to life and to the spiritual journey.
How it works:
• We first meet by phone to clarify your intentions. Out of this, we will create a structure and schedule for your retreat time. You decide where you want to stay and make the relevant arrangements. You could book a room at a healing center or pitch a tent by the river, rent an airbnb or put a cot in a backyard shed. The only requirement is that you be in a safe, quiet place outside of your normal routines where you have access to adequate internet or phone service for us to do our sessions.
• We will schedule a one-hour phone session on each of your two retreat days at a time that will best fit your process. We can meet early in the day to get you started, mid-day to address concerns that came up in your morning practice, or late in the day to look together at how the day went. If you would like more than one session a day, additional sessions can be added at the same cost as my package rates.
Dana for retreats is sliding scale. For a weekend retreat, the dana normally ranges between $220-$370 USD, and includes 3 sessions: 1 planning session in advance of the retreat (with follow-up emails and practice materials), and one session on each day of your retreat. Longer retreats are also available.
Intrigued?
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to talk about the possibilities. Email me to set up a time.

"I JUST FINISHED a solo, long-distance retreat with Jane. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. Jane is a relaxed, attentive and wise teacher. I experienced her as a unique and exceptional guide — for both one’s writing and awakening."
