Do you feel compelled to write, but something is stopping you from getting on with it?

Do you feel you have a story to tell, or simply something 'to say' but don't know how to start, or how to continue?

Are you looking for a deeper connection to your self, or a sense of fulfilment?

Are...(more) you in need of encouragement and the company of other writers?

In this online “playshop,” you will find tips and support from Sandra Jensen's DIVING DEEPER process; you will find writing games and suggestions which will help you break through Writer's Block, find your authentic voice, and tell your stories. You will generate more subjects, themes and ideas that you will ever be able to use, (but it is a big comfort to have a book full of them so that you will never feel stuck again.)

You can fine tune your writing skills at formal workshops and courses - this workshop is about jumping in, liberating your Inner Writer, and getting started. Or, to paraphrase Guy Kawasaki, it is about “the art of the start.” Once you learn how to overcome your writing Ogres, and trust your true voice, there will be no stopping you.

If you are an experienced writer, you will find like-minded souls to commune with and share your process.

This is not a specific 'writing course' but a community of writers with something for every level of interest. It is however, strongly based on Sandra Jensen's Diving Deeper methods.

If you want to join us, please go here: ”How to Join Diving Deeper” - you will find all you need to know on how to join. This is a 'request-in' group which has a specific entry process. You don't have to be 'a writer' to be able to join, so don't hesitate to ask any questions of Sandra or one of the moderators. All this information is in the How to Join Diving Deeper room.

Sandra Jensen leads Diving Deeper writing retreats in Europe and North America. Her non-fiction work has been published in newspapers in Canada, the Whole Earth Magazine and Utne Reader. Her fiction has been published on Verbsap.com, The Dublin Quarterly, r.kv.r.y Quarterly. Word Riot, Versal, Common Ties, Santa Fe Writers Project, Takahe, Quicksilver and Sou'wester. Work is forthcoming in AGNI, PRISM international and Chautauqua. She has written for the theatre, and is presently writing a collection of short stories and a novella.

“Out beyond ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I'll meet you there.” Rumi

Hello everyone!

I have a friend here in Sweden. She is not a DD member but I thought to bring her idea of a book here just because you guys are a bunch of really good and feet on earth spiritual people (the kinds I love). Here is my friend Sophias announcement:

~ o ~

Spiritual Activism: Universal Love in Practice!

How to define spiritual activism is of course not easy. What is meant in this headline is:

- Constructive
- Respectful
- In practice working spiritual solutions on different kind of emotional and physical problems.

What I am looking for is “how to”-solutions, with which you don’t deceive, lie, heckle or in some other way behave in an untrue way. These solutions can for instance be answers to questions like:
- How I solved my situation of unemployment,
- How one can create a working relation with authority representatives,
- How I have managed to distribute all tasks at home between all family members,
- How we united and changed a municipal decision about cutdowns in the daycare area,
- How I managed to befriend my boss ,
- How we finally became good neighbours in my neighbourhood ,
- How I and my husband managed to divorce – as friends.

Well, I can go on forever, but I think you have gotten the idea. All these solutions shall be the foundation of an incredible and powerful book in spiritual acitivism!

Publisher Company Visionary Life will publish and distribute the book, and the participants may choose whether they want to present their name or not.

Send in your text: visionary_life@telia.com">visionary_life@telia.com, before 31st of December 2008. Publication is planned spring 2009.
PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE!

Visionary Life has the right to correct the text (in dialogue with the author) and also to decide whether the text shall be published or not. There is no financial payment for the contributions. All possible profit will go to charitable purposes!
