Writing to Wake the Soul: Opening the Sacred Conversation Within by Karen Hering

5.0

I read the first section of this book and skimmed the exercises/prompts in the second section in preparation for setting up a writing group based on the book with some friends.

Throughout the first section, I felt like Hering was speaking directly to me. I'm looking forward to delving into her prompts in a group setting. I tend to approach writing as an intellectual practice that ends up being spiritual much of the time. I'm intrigued by the idea of allowing it to be primarily spiritual and viewing it as a means for meditation, insight, and enlightenment rather than the practice of a craft.
