Wind, Flag, Mind Moves – a Binational Contemplative Writers Series.
Mindfulness and creativity in the time of quarantine has proven to be challenging. But now more than ever, as we find ourselves unable to go outward, we are presented with the opportunity to turn inward. The Wind, Flag, Mind Moves series is an offering of exchanges designed to inspire writers along the creative path.
Join us for this unique virtual line-up of readings, workshops and discussions, where we engage with notable authors and meditation practitioners as we explore the relationship of contemplative practices, social action, and the written word.
Featured Guest: Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, Poet & Author, Distinguished Professor of Creative Writing at University of California, Riverside
