Workshop Description

The Mayans have 80 words to express the heart and experiences of the heart. In the Mayan language they say that every heart has a glyph, and when they say “kindness,” it is said as “your heart is a book.” The Mayans also believe that the Gods eat poetry and so we must write and recite to keep the Gods happy. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that all sacred texts are poetic; they read like prose and distillations of human experiences to guide us and heal us.

This workshop is in alignment with the Mayans’ belief that in every book is a heart and that indeed the Gods revel in poetry. We will revel in writing as a practice of the soul and explore ways to bring these sparks of all that wishes to be expressed into form in a way that is deeply transformational, healing, and clarifying for the writer, the reader, and future generations to come.
