✍️WORKSHOP: Writing with Heart: Cultivating Loving Kindness for Writers w/ Anne Muhlethaler
** This is a LIVE workshop. Attendees will be sent a video recording after the workshop. **
What if friendliness could be your most powerful writing lens?
This interactive 60-minute workshop introduces Loving Kindness (Mettā) meditation as a powerful tool for writers. We'll explore the science behind how Loving Kindness practice can lower anxiety, reduce self-criticism, and boost social connection—which are all essential for authentic storytelling. Through guided practice, you'll learn techniques to extend kindness to yourself, your characters, and your creative process.
Writers will leave with:
A guided Loving Kindness meditation specifically designed for writers that they can use before writing sessions
Understanding of how Loving Kindness practice supports the creative process (backed by research on vagus tone, anxiety reduction, and social connection)
Practical experience extending kindness to different aspects of their writing—themselves, their characters, and their stories
Tools for developing a more supportive relationship with their inner creative voice
Bring an open mind and a willingness to explore meditation practice. No previous meditation experience necessary.
